Maybe this is a dumb question:
What advantage has a DO CONCURRENT loop compared to a normal DO loop? I understand that in DO CONCURRENT you are not allowed to use an index (i-1), but basically every DO CONCURRENT can be written as a normal DO loop (but not the other way round).
In the documentation the following sample code is shown
DO CONCURRENT (I = 1:N) Q = B(I) + C(I) D(I) = Q + SIN(Q) + 2 END DO
which can be written as
DO I = 1,N Q = B(I) + C(I) D(I) = Q + SIN(Q) + 2 END DO
Is the DO CONCURRENT construct faster or what is the advantage?
Another question: I remember that for parallel reasons it would be more effective to declare Q(N) too, so the DO loop can access Q(I) instead of just Q. Is that right?
