Abstract

High Performance Fortran (HPF) was defined in 1993 as a portable data-parallel extension to Fortran. This year it was updated by the release of HPF version 2.0, which clarified many existing features and added a number of extensions requested by users. Compilers for these extensions are expected to appear beginning in late 1997. In this paper, we present an overview of the entire language, including HPF1 features such as BLOCK distribution and the FORALL statement and HPF2 additions such as INDIRECT distribution and the ON directive.
