Abstract

In this paper we present our experiences parallelizing the C++ programs DROPS and FIRE with OpenMP. Though the OpenMP specification includes C++, several shortcomings and missing features can be noticed in both the current OpenMP compilers and the specification. We propose solutions of how to overcome these problems and formulate wishes for the future OpenMP specification 3.0.
