Title
Towards an error model for OpenMP
Abstract
OpenMP lacks essential features for developing mission-critical software. In particular, it has no support for detecting and handling errors or even a concept of them. In this paper, the OpenMP Error Model Subcommittee reports on solutions under consideration for this major omission. We identify issues with the current OpenMP specification and propose a path to extend OpenMP with error-handling capabilities. We add a construct that cleanly shuts down parallel regions as a first step. We then discuss two orthogonal proposals that extend OpenMP with features to handle system-level and user-defined errors.
