parallel, Qparallel

Tells the auto-parallelizer to generate multithreaded code for loops that can be safely executed in parallel. This feature is only available for ifort.

Syntax

Linux:

-parallel

macOS:

-parallel

Windows:

/Qparallel(or /Qpar)

Arguments

None

Default

OFF

Multithreaded code is not generated for loops that can be safely executed in parallel.

Description

This option tells the auto-parallelizer to generate multithreaded code for loops that can be safely executed in parallel.

To use this option, you must also specify option O2 or O3.

This option sets option [q or Q]opt-matmul if option O3 is also specified.

NOTE:

Using this option enables parallelization for both Intel® microprocessors and non-Intel microprocessors. The resulting executable may get additional performance gain on Intel microprocessors than on non-Intel microprocessors. The parallelization can also be affected by certain options, such as /arch or /Qx (Windows*) or -m or -x (Linux* and macOS).

Product and Performance Information

Performance varies by use, configuration and other factors. Learn more at www.Intel.com/PerformanceIndex.
