Abstract

Object-oriented programming has found its place in mainstream software application development since the 1990s and most current programming languages are either object-oriented by design, or have been retrofitted with such features. Given the recent trend towards multi-core processors, parallel programming is just about to become a mainstream requirement. In this work, we explore and compare techniques with which to parallelize object-oriented C++ and Fortran codes from the scientific domain with OpenMP. Our goal is to achieve the best possible performance while still maintaining the object-oriented programming style.
