What are forked (and joined) in openmp parallel for directive (thread or process)?
<p>I am interested about the difference between process and thread in openmp.  I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/200469/what-is-the-difference-between-a-process-and-a-thread">this</a> answer of Scott Langham quite interesting about the difference between thread and process in general.</p>

<p>So here comes my question : In the case of <code>openmp parallel for</code> where "thread" are fork at the beginning of the 
loop and then join afterward, is it realy thread which are forked or Process ?</p>
