 Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2005 8:06 am Post subject: OpenMP: problem with flush |
 |
|
I tried to compile an OpenMP program with pgcc 5.1 on an AMD Opteron. A snippet from the code looks like:
| Code: |
while( sync[neighbor] == 0 ) {
#pragma omp flush
}
|
According to the OpenMP specification, this should be fine - it is even an excerpt from an example from the specification. However, if I look at the generated assembly code, it seems that the "flush" directive is ignored. As a result, the program encounters a deadlock, since the memory in sync[neighbor] is not read again after the flush. So my question is if the PGI compiler I used supports the "flush" directive or if I have misinterpreted the specifications. |

Hi SRILS,
Unfortunately it's a bug (TPR #3499). We do have the issue characterized and should have a fix in a future release.
Thanks,
Mat |
