Abstract
Handling the procedure interface in an HPF compiler is complex due to the many possible combinations of Fortran 90/HPF properties of an actual array argument and its associated dummy argument. This paper describes an algorithm that reduces this complexity by mapping all the combinations of properties to a small set of canonical Internal Representations. These internal representations as well as the necessary run-time descriptors are also described. The algorithm has been implemented in the commercial HPF compiler produced by the Prepare project.
