Beginner OpenMP FORTRAN help please

[jelanier]

I have written some code that shows gains of OpenMP. This code shows gains and verifies output by comparison. Using my old laptop (2 core i5) I get at best 3X resolution. Probably better on more modern machines. I have attached code and msys2 compile shell.

This is output using my laptop:

So you get a 2.8x improvement on a 2C/4T machine? You should be pretty happy about that.

I ran this on a MAC with same processor. Percentage Gains are similar but MAC/UNIX speed is much better overall.

Results on MACOS:
