Your post is interesting in that looking at openmp might suggest some interesting implementation possibilities, but your estimates or ideas about how it would work are complete fantasy. That you talk about "wrapping" it is enough to know that you haven't a clue how any of it works.
It is interesting that you have discovered your need for "form of multi-threading" and wanting it. It might interest you to know that I had already recognized the need for it BEFORE I posted. Not only that, but I had researched at least two alternatives (Intel TBB and Boost) and found them unsuitable within the constraints of Euphoria and the time you people would have for implementation.
I have not looked at OPENMP to see whether it is distributed as a dll or header or what-have-you. I used the word wrap in a general manner. I should say just connect to it or absorb it or embed or implement it ......... USE IT!
