That's a tough ask. I've only looked at two books on OpenMP, and they
both have problems: "Parallel Programming in OpenMP" is excellent, but
unfortunately mostly uses Fortran, while "Using OpenMP" is more
even-handed with the two languages but is pitched at a pretty basic
level. There's also "Parallel Programming in C with MPI and OpenMP",
which is a superb book but probably not what you're after - it focuses
almost entirely on parallel algorithms rather than practical programming
with the APIs.
Is there a good reason you're learning OpenMP instead of MPI?
