$section OpenMP Maximum Thread Number$$

$index omp_max_thread$$
$index thread, multiple$$
$index multiple, thread$$
$index OpenMP, CppAD$$
$index CppAD, OpenMP$$

$head Syntax$$
$syntax%AD<%Base%>::omp_max_thread(%number%)
%$$

$head Purpose$$
By default, for each $syntax%AD<%Base%>%$$ class there is only one 
tape that records $cref/AD of Base/glossary/AD of Base/$$ operations.
This tape is a global variable and hence it cannot be used
by multiple OpenMP threads at the same time. 
The $code omp_max_thread$$ function is used to set the 
maximum number of OpenMP threads that can be active.
In this case, there is a different tape corresponding to each 
$syntax%AD<%Base%>%$$ class and thread pair. 

$head number$$
The argument $italic number$$ has prototype
$syntax%
	size_t %number%
%$$
It must be greater than zero and specifies the maximum number of
OpenMp threads that will be active at one time.


$head Independent$$
Each call to $cref/Independent(x)/Independent/$$ 
creates a new $cref/active/glossary/Tape/Active/$$ tape.
All of the operations with the corresponding variables 
must be preformed by the same OpenMP thread.
This includes the corresponding call to 
$cref/f.Dependent(x,y)/Dependent/$$ or the 
$cref/ADFun f(x, y)/FunConstruct/Sequence Constructor/$$
during which the tape stops recording and the variables
become parameters.

$head Restriction$$
No tapes can be 
$cref/active/glossary/Tape/Active/$$ when this function is called.

$head Example and Tests$$
$children%
	openmp/run.sh
%$$
The shell script $cref/openmp_run.sh/$$ can be used to 
compile and run the OpenMP examples and tests.
