A special version of the OMPi OpenMP compiler that supports the Parallella board is now available, which treats the Epiphany chip as an OpenMP 4.0 device. What this means is that code can be offloaded to the Epiphany through the OpenMP target directive. In particular, an OpenMP program running at the host (Zynq) may deploy multiple, independent and concurrent kernels onto the Epiphany cores.
