| Any use of parallel functionality requires additional compiler |
| and runtime support, in particular support for OpenMP. Adding this support is |
| not difficult: just compile your application with the compiler |
| flag <code class="literal">-fopenmp</code>. This will link |
| in <code class="code">libgomp</code>, the |
| OpenMP <a class="link" href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libgomp/" target="_top">GNU implementation</a>, |
| whose presence is mandatory. |
| </p><p> |
| In addition, hardware that supports atomic operations and a compiler |
| capable of producing atomic operations is mandatory: GCC defaults to no |
| support for atomic operations on some common hardware |
| architectures. Activating atomic operations may require explicit |
| compiler flags on some targets (like sparc and x86), such |
| as <code class="literal">-march=i686</code>, |
| <code class="literal">-march=native</code> or <code class="literal">-mcpu=v9</code>. See |
| the GCC manual for more information. |
| </p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="parallel_mode.using.parallel_mode"></a>Using Parallel Mode</h3></div></div></div><p> |
| To use the libstdc++ parallel mode, compile your application with |
| the prerequisite flags as detailed above, and in addition |
| add <code class="constant">-D_GLIBCXX_PARALLEL</code>. This will convert all |
| use of the standard (sequential) algorithms to the appropriate parallel |
| equivalents. Please note that this doesn't necessarily mean that |
| everything will end up being executed in a parallel manner, but |
| rather that the heuristics and settings coded into the parallel |
| versions will be used to determine if all, some, or no algorithms |
| will be executed using parallel variants. |
| </p><p>Note that the <code class="constant">_GLIBCXX_PARALLEL</code> define may change the |
| sizes and behavior of standard class templates such as |
| <code class="function">std::search</code>, and therefore one can only link code |
| compiled with parallel mode and code compiled without parallel mode |
| if no instantiation of a container is passed between the two |
| translation units. Parallel mode functionality has distinct linkage, |
| and cannot be confused with normal mode symbols. |
| </p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="parallel_mode.using.specific"></a>Using Specific Parallel Components</h3></div></div></div><p>When it is not feasible to recompile your entire application, or |
| only specific algorithms need to be parallel-aware, individual |
| parallel algorithms can be made available explicitly. These |
| parallel algorithms are functionally equivalent to the standard |
| drop-in algorithms used in parallel mode, but they are available in |
| a separate namespace as GNU extensions and may be used in programs |
| compiled with either release mode or with parallel mode. |
| </p><p>An example of using a parallel version |
| of <code class="function">std::sort</code>, but no other parallel algorithms, is: |
| </p><pre class="programlisting"> |
| #include <vector> |
| #include <parallel/algorithm> |
| |
| int main() |
| { |
| std::vector<int> v(100); |
| |
| // ... |
| |
| // Explicitly force a call to parallel sort. |
| __gnu_parallel::sort(v.begin(), v.end()); |
| return 0; |
| } |
| </pre><p> |
| Then compile this code with the prerequisite compiler flags |
| (<code class="literal">-fopenmp</code> and any necessary architecture-specific |
| flags for atomic operations.) |
| </p><p> The following table provides the names and headers of all the |
| parallel algorithms that can be used in a similar manner: |
