OpenMP in FDS >=6.7.8

[sacunningham]

I see in the release notes for FDS 6.7.8 the following note.

There are now two executables distributed in the bundle. One is optimized for a single thread (about 20 % faster) and should be used for MPI calculations without OpenMP. The second executable, appended with _openmp, includes OpenMP compile directives and should be used for multi-thread calculations.

For all versions newer than 6.7.8 the install scripts found on the releases page seem to be the single thread version. When running FDS I'm getting an OpenMP Disabled message in the standard out where I would normally see my OMP thread count. Where can I find the OpenMP versions?

What operating system are you using?

Both Windows and Linux. See screenshots below

fds is the name of the non-OpenMP executable. fds_openmp is the name of the OpenMP-enabled executable.

Understood. I misinterpreted the release note. 6.7.8 introduced a new command named fds_openmp. I was looking for a separate installer for the executable. I'm getting the expected behavior now, Thank You.
