OpenMP threads cannot be killed forcefully from the outside. They do not have a handle that you can use to perform operations like join, interrupt, abort, etc.
In fact, OpenMP is not even designed for this. It’s better to just let the runtime handle the threads and use explicit threads if you need to do something special.
