I am not sure. Code written to use OpenMP tend to have less bugs than code written to use MPI. This suggests that shared memory is easier than message-passing, which is contrary to the common belief.
OpenMP is an *extremely* structured and constrained subset of shared memory multithreading, and not at all comparable to pthreads/threading.py/whatever. -n -- Nathaniel J. Smith -- http://vorpus.org
