Basic OpenMP functions

There are 3 basic functions in OpenMP namely omp_get_thread_num, omp_set_num_threads (nthreads) and omp_get_num_threads. We have given a basic C/ C++ example to demonstrate the use of the function and the observation of the output as well

When to use OpenMP directives?

If some section of your code can be parallelized and you have more than one processor, you should definitely speed up the execution of your program using OpenMP directives. We have demonstrated how to use Amdahl's law to calculate the expected speed up and profiling to find which section takes time
