It should, and probably does.  My guess is that you might have confused
OpenMP and OpenMPI.  These are totally different.

Yes, OpenMP is relevant for you.  An alternative to it is --fork, which
has pros and cons.

What's your CPU?  Does it really lack anything newer than SSE2?

It appears that you've enabled OpenMPI here, which you probably don't
need.

What device would you run OpenCL on?  While you could target your CPU
with OpenCL (such as by installing Intel's proprietary OpenCL SDK),
there's no point in doing that with JtR currently (our C+intrinsics code
is as good or better than our OpenCL code).

If you have a GPU, that's a different matter - you do need OpenCL, then.
