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