Scope

This guide covers programming methods for the following HP compilers on V2200 and V2250 and K-Class machines running HP-UX 11.0 and higher:

The HP compilers now support an extensive shared-memory programming model. HP-UX 11.0 and higher includes the required assembler, linker, and libraries.

This guide describes how to produce programs that efficiently exploit the features of HP parallel architecture concepts and the HP compiler set. Producing efficient programs requires the use of efficient algorithms and implementation. The techniques of writing an efficient algorithm are beyond the scope of this guide. It is assumed that you have chosen the best possible algorithm for your problem. This manual should help you obtain the best possible performance from that algorithm.
