Prefetching Pragmas and Intrinsics
Prefetch instructions can increase the speed of an application substantially by bringing data into cache so that it is available when the processor needs it. Explicit data prefetching pragmas and intrinsics for the x86 platform and additional pragmas and intrinscs for the SPARC platform are now available in Sun Studio 12 compilers.

An OpenMP Runtime API for Profiling
This paper describes a runtime API for use in profiling OpenMP
applications. The API is designed to provide data that enables performance tools
to present measurements in the user-model of OpenMP programming. The API was
primarily designed to support statistical sampling of callstacks, but it also
contains extensions to support tracing.

Introducing OpenMP: A Portable, Parallel Programming API for Shared Memory
Multiprocessors
Sun Studio compilers (C/C++/Fortran 95) support OpenMP parallelization
natively. OpenMP is an emerging standard model for parallel programming in a
shared memory environment that provides pragmas (directives), runtime routines,
and environment variables for programmers to easily parallelize their code. This
article provides a brief introduction to OpenMP and is of particular interest to
programmers new to parallel programming methods in Fortran, C, or C++.
