3.8.3.1 Serial Pragmas

The Sun-specific MP pragmas have been deprecated and are no longer supported. However, the compiler supports the APIs specified by the OpenMP 2.5 standard instead. See the OpenMP API User’s Guide for migration information to the directives of the standard.

There are two serial pragmas, and both apply to for loops:

• #pragma MP serial_loop

• #pragma MP serial_loop_nested

The #pragma MP serial_loop pragma indicates to the compiler that the next for loop is not to be automatically parallelized.

The #pragma MP serial_loop_nested pragma indicates to the compiler that the next for loop and any for loops nested within the scope of this for loop are not to be automatically parallelized.

The scope of these pragmas begins with the pragma and ends with the beginning of the next block, the next for loop within the current block, or the end of the current block, which ever occurs first.
