C | GLOBAL\_MAX.h |
| 10 |
C | o Globals used by Fortran global max routine. |

C *==========================================================* |
| 12 |
C | The global max shared memory scheme uses global heap data |
| 13 |
C | structures (.i.e COMMON blocks ). Each thread writes to |
| 14 |
C | an its own element of the shared memory array and then |
| 15 |
C | one thread reads all the entries and maxs them. The max |
| 16 |
C | result is then read by all threads. |
| 17 |
C | Remember - you are working with regions of memory that |
| 18 |
C | are being updated concurrently by different threads. |
| 19 |
C | What happens, when it happens and who gets to see what |
| 20 |
C | happens at what stage depends on the computer systems |
| 21 |
C | memory model. Every computer has a different memory model |
| 22 |
C | and they are never simple. In all current platforms it is |
| 23 |
C | possible for one thread to see events happening in a |
| 24 |
C | different order from the order they are written in the |
| 25 |
C | code. |
| 26 |
C | Unless you understand this it is not a good idea to |
| 27 |
C | make modifications te way these header files are setup or |
| 28 |
C | the way the global max routines work. |
