At this time, it is anticipated that the meeting will end around noon on Wednesday. The meeting will provide an opportunity for users of HPF to meet each other, share ideas and experience, and get up-to-date information about implementations and future directions. The day before the conference (February 23) will be devoted to tutorials: o Introduction to HPF (morning) Covering the basics of programming in HPF. o HPF 2.0 (afternoon) Presentation of the newly-finalized HPF version 2.0. The conference itself will include: o Invited Talks by HPF users o Invited Talks by HPF developers o Panel Discussions Ken Kennedy will moderate a panel discussion to promote user feedback on HPF. The particular focuses of this panel will be to advise compiler developers on where to focus their efforts: What features do programmers use? What features need better implementations? Attendee participation is highly encouraged. Other panels may be added based on attendee interest. Proposals for panel sessions may be submitted through the "contributed talks" mechanism. o Contributed Talks from the HPF user community o Social Activities An opening reception will be held at the hotel Sunday evening. A banquet on Tuesday evening will be held at the hotel. Conference attendees are encouraged to submit abstracts for presentations at the meeting. Call For Presentations: ----------------------- We invite everyone with HPF ideas or experiences to submit abstracts of papers and posters for possible presentation at the meeting. List of topics includes (but is not limited to): o Real-world HPF Applications: CFD Image Processing Structural Analysis Chemistry Aerodynamics o HPF Software: Tools Libraries Vendors Implementations Programming Environments o HPF Development: Extensions and Improvements Optimization Techniques Runtime Support Critiques and Evaluations Submitting an abstract: ----------------------- Abstracts of 300 words or less must be submitted before January 2, 1997 and must be in a single file readable by Netscape 2.0 or later.

My (still perplexed) apologies for the truncated files on titan.cs.rice.edu. For the rest of you, the nearly-ready-for-prime-time release is now available from ftp://titan.cs.rice.edu/public/HPFF/hpf2.0-draft/Releases/14-oct-96.tar.gz or as individual files from ftp://titan.cs.rice.edu/public/HPFF/hpf2.0-draft/ These are unpacked directly from the tar file Mary sent around to hpff-doc on Friday. They pass LaTeX on the Rice machine, which is better than nothing. I make no guarentees about completeness of files. Editors are urged to compare the versions out there with their notes... We plan to announce this version to the world on Friday. Comments are appreciated!!!

Instructions for adding or deleting yourself from this list appear at the bottom of this message. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The High Performance Fortran Forum is pleased to announce the availablility of _The High Performance Fortran Language Specification, version 2.0.delta_. HPF 2.0 contains: * The HPF 2.0 Language * HPF 2.0 Approved Extensions The HPF 2.0 language includes features that are expected of every HPF implementation within a year of release of the language specification. These include: - Basic data distribution features (ALIGN and DISTRIBUTE, with some simplifications from HPF 1.1 in the procedure calls), - Data parallel features (FORALL and INDEPENDENT, including a new REDUCTION clause for INDEPENDENT), - Intrinsic and library routines (HPF 1.1, plus two new forms of sorting), and - The EXTRINSIC mechanism (as in HPF 1.0). The Approved Extensions include advanced features that meet specific needs, but are not likely to be supported in all initial compiler implementations. These include: - New data distribution patterns (including INDIRECT mappings and SHADOW regions) and DYNAMIC data distributions (REALIGN and REDISTRIBUTE), - New parallel control mechanisms (including the ON clause and TASK_REGION directive), - Asynchronous I/O operations, and - Several predefined EXTRINSIC types (some, like HPF_LOCAL, supported by the HPF Forum; other, like HPF_CRAFT, supported by other groups). The specification is available in several forms: Anonymous FTP from ftp://titan.cs.rice.edu/public/HPFF/hpf2/ This directory contains: hpf-report.ps Postscript version of the document hpf-report.dvi DVI version of the document *.tex LaTeX source for the document (hpf-report.tex is the root file) Releases/*.tar.gz TAR files of preliminary drafts (name indicates date created) Hardcopy Send a message to Theresa Chatman CITI/CRPC, Mail Stop 41 Rice University 6100 Main Street Houston, TX 77005 or e-mail to tlc@cs.rice.edu to request a copy. There is a $50.00 charge to cover copying and shipping costs. We hope to have the draft available through the WWW shortly. Due to the length and complexity of the document, turning it into HTML is "highly nontrivial" (i.e. latex2html chokes on the macros). We will make an announcement to this mailing list when it arrives. ***** IMPORTANT ***** This is a public comment version of the document. We value any and all reactions that you care to make. These will be taken into consideration in preparing the final draft in December. Please send your comments by e-mail to hpff-doc@cs.rice.edu. If you do not have electronic mail, send the comments by regular post to Charles Koelbel CITI/CRPC, Mail Stop 41 Rice University 6100 Main Street Houston, TX 77005 Thank you for your interest in HPF.
