Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of performing parallel input-output in data parallel computations. Specifically, we present language support (as extensions to HPF), and initial compiler implementation in the Fortran90D/HPF compiler for distributed memory machines. In this paper we only address the problem of reading and writing data in parallel. We suggest a set of compiler directives for parallel I/O which can be used in addition to standard HPF directives. The runtime primitives along with the compiler directives provide a common I/O platform for parallel languages like HPF.
