Release 1.5.1
Wheeler, Kyle Bruce
I just posted 1.5.1 as an official release, based on revision 1933.
http://code.google.com/p/qthreads/downloads/detail?name=qthread-1.5.1.tar.bz2
This is primarily a release to get included with the next release of Chapel. There are a few relatively minor bugfixes too, and here's the list from the NEWS file that I was able to highlight (let me know if I'm missing something important):
New Features:
- Chapel shims
Improvements:
- Compiles under Cygwin
- Better OpenMP nested loop behavior (more efficient barriers)
- Use memory affinity interface in hwloc (if available)
- Better CPU affinity behavior for non-default shepherd counts
Bugfixes:
- Better behavior when void functions are used as syncvar-returning threads
- Pthread_id() now does not change between qthread_initialize() and qthread_finalize()
- Affinity of calling thread restored during qthread_finalize()
