### 15.2.3.10 PARALLEL DO Directive (TU*X only)

The PARALLEL DO directive provides an abbreviated way to specify a parallel region containing a single DO directive.

The PARALLEL DO directive takes the following form:

  c$OMP PARALLEL DO [clause[[,] clause] . . . ]
  do_loop
  [c$OMP END PARALLEL DO]
  c
  Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 15.2.1).
  clause
  Can be any of the clauses accepted by the DO or PARALLEL directives. See Sections 15.2.3.5 and 15.2.3.9.
  do_loop
  Is a DO iteration (a DO loop). It cannot be a DO WHILE or a DO loop without loop control. The DO loop iteration variable must be of type integer.

  You cannot branch out of a DO loop associated with a DO directive.

Rules and Behavior

If the END PARALLEL DO directive is not specified, the PARALLEL DO is assumed to end with the DO loop that immediately follows the PARALLEL DO directive. If used, the END PARALLEL DO directive must appear immediately after the end of the DO loop.

The semantics are identical to explicitly specifying a PARALLEL directive immediately followed by a DO directive.

Examples

In the following example, the loop iteration variable is private by default and it is not necessary to explicitly declare it. The END PARALLEL DO directive is optional:

      c$OMP PARALLEL DO
            DO I=1,N
                B(I) = (A(I) + A(I-1)) / 2.0
            END DO
      c$OMP END PARALLEL DO

The following example shows how to use the REDUCTION clause in a PARALLEL DO directive:

      c$OMP PARALLEL DO DEFAULT(PRIVATE) REDUCTION(+: A,B)
            DO I=1,N
              CALL WORK(ALOCAL,BLOCAL)
              A = A + ALOCAL
              B = B + BLOCAL
            END DO
      c$OMP END PARALLEL DO
