3     C /==========================================================\
4     C | FBAR.h |
5     C | o Globals used by Fortran barrier routine. |
6     C |==========================================================|
7     C | These variables support a simple Fortran shared memory |
8     C | barrier routine. They do busy waiting, that is the |
9     C | thread that is waiting sits in a tight loop reading |
10     C | some memory location and waiting for all other threads. |
11     C | On some systems this is sometimes a good method to use. |
12     C | On the T3E memory is not shared so the routine should |
13     C | use the T3E "eureka" barriers. On CRAY and NEC there are |
14     C | hardware barriers that are accessed through a compiler |
15     C | directives. Finally proper multi-threading compilers |
16     C | support barrier compile directives - sometimes these |
17     C | are good, sometimes they are lousy. |
18     C | The barrier mechanism is used as follows |
19     C | 1. In the single-threaded part of the code |
20     C | CALL FBAR_INIT |
21     C | on CRAY, NEC this routine does nothing |
22     C | on T3E there is no single-threaded code |
23     C | but there may be barrier initialisation - |
24     C | need to check. |
25     C | 2. When we need to synchronize everybody just |
26     C | CALL FBAR( myThid ) |
27     C | where myThid is myThreadId |
28     C | on CRAY, NEC FBAR will just do C$DIR BARRIER |
29     C | or the like. |
30     C | on T3E FBAR does CALL BARRIER(...) or something |
31     C | need to check this. |
