Equivalent of omp parallel sections?

[davidjward30]

Hello,

I know that tbb is not supposed to be a direct replacement for openmp, but having dabbled with openmp a little bit I think that in general TBB suits my needs more than openmp so I was planning to use tbb exclusively

However, I'm still unsure how I would effect an omp parallel sections piece of code:

e.g.

#pragma omp parallel sections
{
#pragma omp section
XAXIS();
#pragma omp section
YAXIS();
#pragma omp section
ZAXIS();
}

I would guess that using the task scheduler directly is the way to do it?

Regards,

David.

"I would guess that using the task scheduler directly is the way to do it?" You could do that. I would go with parallel_for myself.

I feel silly for asking, but could you possible give me some (psuedo)-code for the above problem? Thanks.

Please see the tutorial; in the body, use a switch()on theiteration value.

Thanks for the answers. I must admit the "switch in the body" did occur to me - I just thought it was just a bit too clumsy and assumed I was missing out on something else. I think task groups are probably what I'm seeking.

Cheers.
