PyOMP

OpenMP for Python in Numba

Building

Run build.sh.

Using

Import Numba and add the njit decorator to the function in which you want to use OpenMP. Add with contexts for each OpenMP region you want to have where the with context is openmp_context from the numba.openmp module.

Example

from numba import njit
from numba.openmp import openmp_context as openmp

@njit
def test_pi_loop():
    num_steps = 100000
    step = 1.0 / num_steps

    the_sum = 0.0
    omp_set_num_threads(4)

    with openmp("parallel"):
        with openmp("for reduction(+:the_sum) schedule(static)"):
            for j in range(num_steps):
                c = step
                x = ((j-1) - 0.5) * step
                the_sum += 4.0 / (1.0 + x * x)

    pi = step * the_sum
    return pi
