Multi-threaded computing

Multi-Threaded Computing A process model that uses hardware/software mechanisms to switch between multiple execution threads.

A routine to compute the matrix vector product c = Ab using a hybrid multi-threading and message-passing technique. The algorithm shown combines the MPI and OpenMP parallelizations illustrated in Figures 4.4 and 4.6. Since all MPI calls are from the main thread, MPI need only support the "funneled" level of multi-threading.
