DIJKSTRA_OPENMP is a C++ program which illustrates the use of the OpenMP application program interface by implementing Dijkstra's minimum graph distance algorithm.
The program is an interesting example, because it does not involve parallelization of a loop. Instead, a parallel region is defined, and the nodes of the graph are divided up among the threads. The resulting parallel algorithm naturally requires some of the more advanced OpenMP directives, including critical, single and barrier, in order to work correctly.
The actual graph that is analyzed is very small (6 nodes), but of course the same algorithm would work for larger graphs. The point is rather to see how the OpenMP directives can be put together correctly.
