Dear all,

I have a fortran code to calculate particle motion. there are alway many big loops. Some guy suggest me to use openmp to speed it up. the following is the pseudo code. Do I do it correctly?

c$OMP PARALLEL DO DEFAULT(SHARED), PRIVATE(i,ni,c2,ks,ke)

do i=1,ni

a(i)=c1

c2=0

ks=lfirst(i)

ke=last(i)

do k=ks,ke

c2=c2+f(k)

c3=f1+f2

................

c4=f+f3

enddo

f(i)=c2+c3

enddo

It can be seen that the loop i in the code is independent, but loop k is dependent. All calculations mainly happen in loop k which is small, up to 8. The loop i is always big, up to 200,000. I only want to use openmp for loop i. Your hints would be greatly appreciated. Cheers,ronac
