Since openmp also exists on windows, I doubt that it is required that openmp uses pthread :) On linux, with gcc, using -fopenmp implies -pthread, so I guess it uses pthread (can you be more low level than pthread on pthread-enabled Linux in userland ?) cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
