OpenMP Parallel Compiler Directive: Provides an abbreviated way to specify a parallel region containing a single DO directive.
Syntax
You cannot branch out of a DO loop associated with a DO directive.
Rules and Behavior
If the END PARALLEL DO directive is not specified, the PARALLEL DO is assumed to end with the DO loop that immediately follows the PARALLEL DO directive. If used, the END PARALLEL DO directive must appear immediately after the end of the DO loop.
The semantics are identical to explicitly specifying a PARALLEL directive immediately followed by a DO directive.

Examples
In the following example, the loop iteration variable is private by default and it is not necessary to explicitly declare it. The END PARALLEL DO directive is optional:
c$OMP PARALLEL DO
DO I=1,N
B(I) = (A(I) + A(I-1)) / 2.0
END DO
c$OMP END PARALLEL DO
The following example shows how to use the REDUCTION clause in a PARALLEL DO directive:
c$OMP PARALLEL DO DEFAULT(PRIVATE) REDUCTION(+: A,B)
DO I=1,N
CALL WORK(ALOCAL,BLOCAL)
A = A + ALOCAL
B = B + BLOCAL
END DO
c$OMP END PARALLEL DO
