rMAT and openMP

So we have been working on enabling openMP for rMAT. So far we have only been using Grand Central Dispatch for parallel computation as we mainly use Mac OS X 10.6. This has been available in rMAT and rGADEM for quite a bit already, and it works great. This being said, we know that not [...]

If you have any comments/suggestions about the package. Please make [...]
