Abstract
A method of executing a loop over an integer index range of indices in a parallel manner includes assigning a plurality of index subsets of the integer index range to a corresponding plurality of threads, and defining for each index subset a start point of the index subset, an end point of the index subset, and a boundary point of the index subset positioned between the start point and the end point of the index subset. A portion of the index subset between the start point and the boundary point represents a private range and the portion of the index subset between the boundary point and the end point represents a public range. Loop code is executed by each thread based on the index subset of the integer index range assigned to the thread.
