NEWSLETTER OF THE OPENMP ARB
Edition: July 2004

This is the monthly newsletter of the OpenMP Architecture Review
Board. It is based on the discussions in the OpenMP ARB conference
calls of the previous month, and on current activities in the
world of OpenMP. You can find general OpenMP-related links
at the tail of the newsletter.

** The deadline for submitting papers and lab proposals for EWOMP2004

October 18-20 in Stockholm.

** The merge of OpenMP Fortran, C, and C++ specifications is
progressing.

* EWOMP2004 will take place on October 18-20 in Stockholm. The deadline for 
submitting papers and lab proposals has been extended to 30 August 2004.

The successful experience from last year's EWOMP is continued with a
talk session and a lab session. After a two days "conventional"
workshop part with invited and contributed talks (OMPtalks), the
opportunity of having many OpenMP experts in the fields of compilers,
tools and applications on board is utilised to let users "get their
hands dirty" and do real work in a three days hands-on lab session
(OMPlab). In parallel to the OMPlab hands-on session, there is plenty
of time for additional working groups. It is up to the participants to
ignite controversies and lively discussions about OpenMP's present and
future. The workshop web site is http://www.imit.kth.se/ewomp2004. The
deadline of the Call for Papers is 30 August 2004.

* The merge of OpenMP Fortran, C, and C++ specifications is progressing

Good progress has been made on Chapter 2, especially with regard to
semantics of DO variables, binding of regions and memory model text.
