The OpenMP Application Program Interface (API) is a portable, parallel programming model for shared memory multimultithreaded architectures, developed in collaboration with a number of computer vendors. The specifications were created and are published by the OpenMP Architecture Review Board.

The OpenMP API is the recommended parallel programming model for all Oracle Solaris Studio compilers on Oracle Solaris platforms.
