[Omp] one thread stop another thread

[Ge, Steven]

I don't known how to implement your ideas by OpenMP.
But I think use a BOOL variable is OK in this case.
The BOOL variable is checked before execute each iteration. 
One thread reached the goal will set the BOOL variable so that another
thread will know it should exit.

There is another potential issue: the access of BOOL variable is atomic
or not?
It should depend on the architecture and will bring overhead.

Thanks
Steven

Subject: [Omp] one thread stop another thread

Hello,

I have a general issue regarding using OpenMP. I have put two loops in
two 
differrent threads. In one thread, once I reach my goal, I want to break

both threads. How could I do that in OpenMP?

I  notice "omp for" can not allow break inside, Is it a limitation?

Thanks in advance!
Andrew
