Threading docs `OMP_PLACES` unclear or wrong #2973

Open terhorstd opened 1 year ago

terhorstd commented 1 year ago

The documentation on OpenMP settings is inconsistent:

| export OMP_PLACES="{a : b : c}" | OpenMP places are a, a+b, a+2c, … a+nc=b (numbering usually relates to cores/hardware threads) |

Either it is {start:end:step} or {start:step:end}, thus the explanation a, a+b, a+2c… needs checking. Maybe the variables can be renamed, though the formatting is not very clear, given the #CPUSPERTASK# also seems to be a variable.

This is in the current "stable" nest-3.6 documentation.
