Study Notes

OpenMP Motivation

OpenMP is a library for developing parallel applications using shared memory, providing a high-level abstraction for adapting sequential applications in a simple way.
Compared to Pthreads, OpenMP is less complex in terms of API.

Pragma Mechanism in C

OpenMP commands are based on pragmas, which allow adding functionality to a C program without affecting its generic compilation.
The #pragma omp directive is used to specify OpenMP commands.
Compilers that support these directives make use of them, while those that don't support them ignore them and compile the program as usual.
A correctly coded OpenMP program always compiles on any platform, even without support.

Compiler Extensions for OpenMP

The auxiliary library "omp.h" is included using #include .
A pre-compiler directive is used to validate support: #ifdef _OPENMP ... #else ... #endif.

Compiling and Executing OpenMP Programs

The compiling option is -fopenmp, e.g., gcc -fopenmp hello_omp.c -o hello_omp.
The linker option is -lomp, which is optional if including -fopenmp.

Parallel Directive

The #pragma omp parallel directive creates multiple threads of execution in the same process, which execute the code immediately following the pragma.
When the code is finished, all threads wait for the completion of the remaining threads.

numthreads Option

The numthreads option defines the number of threads to parallelize the application, e.g., #pragma omp parallel num_threads(thrcnt).
If not specified, the number of threads created is set by the system during execution, e.g., the number of cores.

High-Performance Computing Exercise

Practical exercise on high-performance computing, focusing on prime number calculations

Prime Number Exercise Objective

Develop a program to calculate the number of prime numbers within a range from 1 to N
Input: N, representing the size of the set of numbers to check
Output: the number of prime numbers in the interval 1 to N

Definition of a Prime Number

A prime number has exactly two divisors: itself and the unit (1)

isPrime() Function

int isPrime(long number) function returns an integer value
If number is less than 2, the function returns 0, indicating it's not a prime number
The function iterates from 2 to check for divisors of the input number

High Performance Computing Exercise

The exercise involves developing a program to calculate the number of prime numbers within a range from 1 to N.
The input for the program is N, which represents the size of the set of numbers to check.
The output of the program is the number of prime numbers in the interval from 1 to N.

Definition of Prime Number

A prime number has exactly two divisors: itself and the unit (1).
A prime number must be greater than or equal to 2.

Trivial Function isPrime()

The isPrime() function takes a long integer as input and returns an integer value.
If the input number is less than 2, the function returns 0, indicating that the number is not prime.
The function uses a loop starting from 2 to check for divisors of the input number.

Foster Methodology: Attachment Theory

Definition of Attachment

A deep and enduring emotional bond between two individuals, typically between a child and their primary caregiver(s)

Key Components of Attachment

Proximity: desire to be physically close to the attachment figure, which is essential for emotional development
Separation anxiety: distress experienced when separated from the attachment figure, a natural response to feelings of abandonment
Safe haven: the attachment figure provides comfort and security, serving as a source of refuge
Secure base: the attachment figure acts as a foundation for exploration and learning, fostering independence and confidence

Attachment Styles

Secure Attachment

Characterized by confidence, responsiveness, and sensitivity to the child's needs
Encourages independence, self-regulation, and emotional resilience

Anxious-Ambivalent Attachment

Marked by inconsistent, unpredictable, and overly responsive behavior
Leads to anxiety, clinginess, and difficulty with self-regulation

Avoidant Attachment

Defined by distant, unresponsive, and rejecting behavior
Results in emotional suppression, difficulty with intimacy, and increased independence

Disorganized-Disoriented Attachment

Characterized by chaotic, unpredictable, and frightening behavior
Linked to increased risk of developmental and emotional difficulties

Factors Influencing Attachment

Caregiver sensitivity: the ability to respond to the child's cues and needs, crucial for secure attachment
Caregiver consistency: consistent and predictable behavior, essential for building trust and security
Child temperament: individual differences in emotional reactivity and regulation, influencing attachment style

Foster Care Implications

Disruption of attachment: frequent changes in caregivers can lead to attachment difficulties, increasing the risk of emotional and behavioral problems
Difficulty forming attachments: foster children may struggle to form healthy attachments due to past experiences, affecting their emotional development and well-being
Importance of attachment-sensitive care: foster caregivers should prioritize building a secure attachment with the child to promote healthy development, resilience, and life outcomes
