OpenMP still got the wrong results. This OpenMP loop appears incorrect because although the i loop occurs inside the parallel region it is not a parallellized loop and will therefore iterate over all range for every thread. This seems to work. But if we use this should probably restructure sequential also to do this. There is not much benefit from the openMP. |

An alternative. static void kernel_lu(int n, double *A)
{
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
// 1) Lower part: must be sequential to preserve order
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
for (int k = 0; k < j; k++) {
A[i*n + j] -= A[i*n + k] * A[k*n + j];
}
A[i*n + j] /= A[j*n + j];
}
// 2) Upper part: can be parallelized
#pragma omp parallel for
for (int j = i; j < n; j++) {
for (int k = 0; k < i; k++) {
A[i*n + j] -= A[i*n + k] * A[k*n + j];
}
}
}

The LU Decomposition test results in Nan's due to the line:
A[i*n+j] /= A[j*n+j];operating on zeros.
To address the above issue, I have initialized the array based on the original polybench.
(Edit: I see https://github.com/cavazos-lab/PolyBench-ACC/blob/master/OpenMP/linear-algebra/solvers/lu/lu.c uses the simplified array. So not sure how that is working. Have not tried running it.)
