Hi Sean, This is Steve, the graduate student at University of Miami developing the fisheries agent-based model of the eastern Gulf of Mexico. I have had great success multi-threading my code by employing the parallel sequence, and am now trying to parallelize the code for Open MP using JOMP. I have periodically obtained help and guidance from Felimon, and we were wondering if you have any ideas on the optimal way to use JOMP with MASON's parallel sequence. Thanks a lot, Steve -- Steven Saul, M.A. Graduate Assistant, Marine Biology and Fisheries Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies Cooperative Unit for Fisheries Education and Research University of Miami - RSMAS 4600 Rickenbacker Cswy.
