Is OpenMP actually a good fit for rust? There is already for example rayon, which both supports turning usage of regular iterators into parallel iterators by replacing .iter()
with .par_iter()
and has a thread pool. The standard library has the Mutex
type for synchronization which makes it impossible to forget to lock before accessing data. All these things combined pretty much cover all features of OpenMP, right?

From talking to some friends in university in physics they liked openmp only because you could write single threaded code in C then throw in some pragma's and know it did the threading stuff.
Same thing with rayon: In many cases all it takes is to replace iter()
with par_iter()
. At least if your code is already thread-safe.

I think this can be closed. If we want to continue the discussion, this can be moved in "Discussions" :)

No question is stupid. I had some thoughts on this a few years ago let me see if i can find them on my google drive.

Unfortunately my notes are pretty old on this and i was targeting rust 0.8 then, i think it would muddy the water if i shared them at this stage.
Do you have an idea of what you would like to see for openmp?
I reckon something like pragma omp parallel could be handled with an attribute over a for loop quite easily but i am unsure about how to handle everything else at this stage.

I am looking at it from the perspective if we were to support openmp how could we do it rather than is it a fit for rust. But your not wrong i personally am not a fan of these libraries but they are popular in academia from what i know.

There are simd pragama's as well which is interesting to think about but would need some thought, i mean if you can some C code and change how you write it a bit and use more loops GCC knows to use simd where available. So to create a full openmp implementation is hard to handle all the directives possible and combinations.
