Abstract

Vectorizing pre-compilers such as KAP/205 and VAST-2 complement the efficient use of FORTRAN on the CDC Cyber 205. With the advent of the ETA-10 and its EOS/VSOS environment, the performance of these FORTRAN 200 pre-processors has come under closer scrutiny. The extent or quantity of vectorization that can be achieved has been examined elsewhere with reference to a test set of FORTRAN DO-loops. The quality of the translated code is another issue which deserves attention of course. KAP/205 and VAST-2 will be contrasted in this respect to reveal differences in the vectorized FORTRAN.
