OpenMP Support

If installing pygram11 from conda-forge, OpenMP acceleration is available. If using PyPI or a source release, the setup.py script tests to see of OpenMP is available during installation. If you don't want to use conda-forge, keep reading.

You can look at the continuous integration configuration files to see how builds are defined (Linux only) to ensure OpenMP acceleration is available. For macOS 10.14, manual tests have shown these setups are OpenMP accelerated:

  • Homebrew or pyenv Python3 (3.7.*) with libomp installed from Homebrew (Apple LLVM version 10.0.*). This is probably simplest non-conda-forge setup.
  • Default (not conda-forge) Anaconda Python3 (3.6.8 and 3.7.3) and Python2 (2.7.16) distributions with libomp installed from Homebrew (you'll likely need to remove the extra libiomp5.dylib from the Anaconda environment lib folder or conda install nomkl, see here).

To check if OpenMP was detected and used while compiling the extension module pygram11._core, try the following:

>>> import pygram11
>>> pygram11.OPENMP
True

Needless to say, if you see False OpenMP acceleration isn't available.

The histogramming functions use a named argument (omp) for requesting OpenMP usage. If pygram11.OPENMP is False the omp function argument is ignored.
