Open MP on IXP

I did some searching and from what I can tell the program should work on the IXP platform with the OpenMP parallelization. I have found no reason why it would not work and several things that hint that it will.
  • OpenMP is compatible with Intel compilers
  • Intel seems to have had a part in the development of OpenMP
  • I found a paper that mentioned OpenMP on the IXP 1200 line and it also said that their work should apply to the IXP 2xxx models
It seems like this platform would work fine for our purposes of running the rulecache code in parallelized form.
