'Fortran OMP : how to do a parallel and a single task?
I am a newbie in parallel programming. This is my serial code that I would like do parallelize
program main
implicit none
integer :: pr_number, i, pr_sum
real :: pr_av
pr_sum = 0
do i=1,1000
! The following instruction is an example to simplify the problem.
! In the real case, it takes a long time that is more or less the same for all threads
! and it returns a large array
pr_number = int(rand()*10)
pr_sum = pr_sum+pr_number
pr_av = (1.d0*pr_sum) / i
print *,i,pr_av ! In real case, writing a huge amount of data on one file
enddo
end program main
I woud like to parallelize pr_number = int(rand()*10) and to have only one print each num_threads.
I tried many things but it does not work. For example,
program main
implicit none
integer :: pr_number, i, pr_sum
real :: pr_av
pr_sum = 0
!$OMP PARALLEL DEFAULT(SHARED) PRIVATE(pr_number) SHARED(pr_sum,pr_av)
!$OMP DO REDUCTION(+:pr_sum)
do i=1,1000
pr_number = int(rand()*10)
pr_sum = pr_sum+pr_number
!$OMP SINGLE
pr_av = (1.d0*pr_sum) / i
print *,i,pr_av
!$OMP END SINGLE
enddo
!$OMP END DO
!$OMP END PARALLEL
end program main
I have an error message at compilation time : work-sharing region may not be closely nested inside of work-sharing, critical or explicit task region.
How can I have an output like that (if I have 4 threads for example) ?
4 3.00000000
8 3.12500000
12 4.00000000
16 3.81250000
20 3.50000000
...
I repeat, I am a beginner on parallel programming. I read many things on stackoverflow but, I think, I have not yet the skill to understand. I work on it, but ...
Edit 1
To explain as suggested in comments. A do loop performs N times a lengthy calculation (N markov chain montecarlo) and the average of all calculations is written to a file at each iteration. The previous average is deleted, only the last one is kept, so process can be followed. I would like to parallelise this calculation over 4 threads.
This is what I imagine to do but perhaps, it is not the best idea.
Thanks for help.
