Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the HPF
compilers on a NEC Cenju-4, an IBM
SP, a Cray T3E and a SGI Origin 2000 on 8 simple kernel operations by comparing
the performance with equivalent MPI implementations. None of the HPF compilers
used for this study were able to provide good performance for all of the
simple tests involving communication. However, they were able to perform
well on our tests that did not require communication between processors.
