This tutorial targets people new to OpenMP and those with some first experiences.

In the morning session, an extensive overview of OpenMP 2.5 is given. Compilers
that support this version of the specifications are widely available.

In the afternoon, various other aspects of OpenMP are presented. A glimpse into
OpenMP compiler technology is given. Some knowledge on this often helps to better
understand certain behavior. The new features in the 3.0 specifications are
presented and discussed. Next, examples of how OpenMP is used to solve practical
problems are given. This is followed by recommendation on how to get good
