High Performance Fortran (HPF) is a candidate for a standard programming language for distributed memory parallel computers. This paper presents the design and implement ation of an HPF compiler for the Fujitsu AP1OOO parallel computers. There are two novel features implemented in the compiler. The first is a machine-independent optimization based on the intermediate format.The second is a code generation technique utilizing the direct remote data access (DRDA) mechanism and stride data transfer supported by the AP1OOO hardware. With the results of experiments on the AP1OOO, this paper shows the effects of the optimization and code generation techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
