Porting Chameleon on top of OpenMP

Chameleon is a dense linear algebra software relying on sequential task-based algorithms where sub-tasks of the overall algorithms are submitted to a Runtime system. Algorithms were implemented on top of several task-based runtime systems: QUARK, PaRSEC, and StarPU (for which there is also an optional heterogeneous implementation). In the context of PRACE-5IP, we introduced OpenMP as an alternative backend for these linear algebra kernels.
