Does anyone use OpenMP?

[Michael Wong]

Hi all, sorry this is a bit off topic, but I will try not to use up much of the group's time. I am looking for anyone within the group who use OpenMP as a possible keynote speaker for OpenMPCon 2015.

I am specifically interested in gaming and real-time usage but also OK with any other usage. Please let me know. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this might explain the lack of responses, but through a combination of Microsoft supporting only up to OpenMP 2.0 and other console platforms not supporting it at all might be why nobody replied here yet. Pushing newer versions to Microsoft and getting Sony and Nintendo on board might be key areas of focus, at least for the gaming industry. Very few gaming companies work exclusively with GCC or the like.

Thank you, having Sony and Nintendo on board is an excellent point.

I was primarily looking for someone from the Game industry to give a talk at OpenMPCon,  but this looks like something we need to do before that start happening.

This is a belated reply, but anyways... I think you'll have much more luck with industries that don't have to cater to multi-platform compatibility. For instance, the use of the Intel compiler in the HPC setting. Now I know Intel's isn't the best compiler feature-wise, but I think it keeps its OpenMP support up to date despite having its own technologies and compiler extensions doing similar things to what OpenMP itself is doing.
