OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing)

OpenMP (Open Multi-Processing) is a tool used in programming to help computers perform tasks faster by dividing work into multiple parts that run simultaneously. It allows programmers to write code for multi-core processors easily, adding simple instructions (directives) that tell the computer to split tasks across different cores. This parallel processing improves performance, especially for complex or large computations, without needing to rewrite large sections of code. Overall, OpenMP simplifies the process of making software run faster by leveraging the power of multiple processing units at once.
