The LNCS series reports state-of-the-art results in computer science research, development, and education, at a high level and in both printed and electronic form. Enjoying tight cooperation with the R&D community, with numerous individuals, as well as with prestigious organizations and societies, LNCS has grown into the most comprehensive computer science research forum available.
The scope of LNCS, including its subseries LNAI and LNBI, spans the whole range of computer science and information technology including interdisciplinary topics in a variety of application fields. The type of material published traditionally includes
-proceedings (published in time for the respective conference)
-post-proceedings (consisting of thoroughly revised final full papers)
-research monographs (which may be based on outstanding PhD work, research projects, technical reports, etc.)
More recently, several color-cover sublines have been added featuring, beyond a collection of papers, various added-value components; these sublines include
-tutorials (textbook-like monographs or collections of lectures given at advanced courses)
-state-of-the-art surveys (offering complete and mediated coverage of a topic)
-hot topics (introducing emergent topics to the broader community)
This book contains the proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on OpenMP held in Tsukuba City, Japan, in June 2010. The International Wo- shop on OpenMP is an annual series of workshops dedicated to the promotion andadvancementofallaspectsfocusing onparallelprogrammingwithOpenMP. OpenMP is now a major programming model for shared memory systems from multi-core machines to large-scale servers. Recently, new ideas and ch- lengeshavebeenproposedtoextendOpenMPframeworktosupportaccelerators and also to exploit other forms of parallelism beyond loop-level parallelism. The workshop serves as a forum to present the latest research ideas and results related to this shared memory programming model. It also o ers the opportunity to interact with OpenMP users, developers and the people working on the next release of the speci cation. In response to the Call-for-Papers for the technical program, the Program Committee received a total of 23 submissions from all over the world including Asia, USA and Europe, and all submissions were carefully refereed in a rigorous processwhichrequiredatleastthreereviewsforeachpaper,usingtheEasyChair conferencesystem.The naldecisionswerecollectivelymadeinMarch2010.Due to time and space limitations for the workshop and proceedings, only 13 papers could be selected for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. We believe we havechosen a diverse, high-quality set of papers, re ecting a stimulating and enjoyable workshop. Finally, we would like to thank all authors, referees,and committee members for their outstanding contributions which have ensured a continuation of the high quality of IWOMP workshops.
