The High Performance Fortran Forum (HPFF), with participation from over 40
organizations, met from March 1992 to March 1993 to define a set of extensions to Fortran
called High Performance Fortran (HPF). Our goal was to address the problems of writing data
parallel programs for architectures where the distribution of data impacts performance.
While we hope that the HPF extensions will become widely available, HPFF is not sanctioned
or supported by any official standards organization. The HPFF had a second series
of meetings from April 1994 to October 1994 to consider requests for corrections,
clarifications, and interpretations to the Version 1.0 HPF document and also to develop
user requirements for possible future changes to HPF. A third set of meetings took place
From January 1995 through December 1996 to incorporate features recommended to meet user
needs identified in the 1994 meetings.
This document contains all the technical features proposed for the version of the
language known as HPF Version 2.0. This copy of the draft was processed by LATEX on
May 25, 1998.
HPFF encourages requests for interpretation of this document, and comments on the
language defined here. We will give our best effort to answering interpretation questions,
and general comments will be considered in future HPFF language specifications.
Please send interpretation requests to hpff-interpret@cs.rice.edu. Your request is
archived and forwarded to a group of HPFF committee members who attempt to respond
to it.
The text of interpretation requests becomes the property of Rice University.
