4.8.3 Parallelization Directives

A parallelization directive is a special comment that directs the compiler to attempt to parallelize the next DO loop. These are summarized in Appendix D and described in the chapter on parallelization in the Fortran Programming Guide. f95 recognizes both Sun and Cray style parallelization directives, as well as the OpenMP Fortran API directives. OpenMP parallelization is described in the OpenMP API User’s Guide.
