Abstract
The HPF language provides the user with means to specify complex data parallel Fortran 90 (F90) applications to be executed on distributed memory parallel computers. HPF offers several data distribution modes including BLOCK, BLOCK(M), CYCLIC and CYCLIC(M) combined with alignment features and provides a wide range of data parallel constructs: HPF FORALL and DO INDEPENDENT loops, F90 array assignments and WHERE statements, and F77 DO loop-nests that are proved to show no loop-carried data dependencies. Since the HPF language is gaining acceptance, handling all these features efficiently by HPF compilers is a challenging problem of growing importance.
