Using OpenMP at work

One of the developers in another group saw my OpenMP presentation and decided it would fit into the design of his current project. They are using an eight core machine to do spectral analysis and need to run a dozen or so models against the data. With much less work than it would take to multi-thread by hand, in fact it may only take a day or two including testing, we expect to get at least a factor of five improved run time performance. The hardest part may be convncing the client the the use of OpenMP is not too esoteric.
