there have been several explicitly pareallel C dialects. Data-parallel C
languages include
C* for the Connection Machines
http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/foldoc/97/15.htm
and its derivative, Data-parallel C
http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/burks/foldoc/81/28.htm
more recently, Cilk
http://supertech.lcs.mit.edu/cilk/
and split-C
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/projects/parallel/castle/split-c/

None of these includes OpenMP directly, though.
