ZIGGURAT_OPENMP <br> Using the ZIGGURAT Library with OpenMP
</h1>
<hr>
<p>
<b>ZIGGURAT_OPENMP</b>
is a FORTRAN90 library which
explores how the ZIGGURAT library may be used, in conjunction with
OpenMP, to compute random numbers efficiently and correctly.
</p>
<p>
The primary worry, when computing random numbers in OpenMP,
occurs when the user calls a random number generator which may
have some internal memory. In that case, the internal memory
may become corrupted if multiple threads are invoking the code
at the same time.
</p>
<p>
A safe way to compute random numbers is to ensure that the
seed value, and any other data or tables needed by the computation,
are stored externally, in the user program. That way, each thread
can have a separate copy of the data, and multiple threads of random number
calculations can be going along simultaneously without fear
of overwriting or memory contention.
</p>
<p>
The program presented here is somewhat awkward, because it wishes
to verify that OpenMP can compute exactly the same data as a sequential
program. To do so, we need to create separate seeds for each threads,
and ensure that the threads execute the loop iterations in some predictable
sequence. When the sequential program goes through the same calculations,
we again have to do some acrobatics to ensure that it is doing the
same things that the parallel program did.
</p>
<p>
So some of the complications in this program are there to ensure that
we can exhibit the same results sequentially and in parallel. Once
you are convinced of that, and see how to go about this, your own
program can be set up without some of the overhead and special
instructions used in this demonstration.
</p>
<p>
On an Apple PowerPC G5 with two processors, the following results were
observed:

Usage:
</h3>
<p>
In the BASH shell, the program could be run with 2 threads using the commands:
<pre>
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=2
./ziggurat_openmp
