Instructions for adding or deleting yourself from this list appear at the bottom of this message. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear HPFF: As usual, there is something of substance that has appeared at the last minute. I've been considering what we can/should say about the behavior of HPF library routines in the presence of NaNs in the input. This in response to a question from Henry. My first reaction was to ignore NaNs, as does the Fortran standard. However, I brought up the question with Jim Demmel and Velvel Kahan. And I asked Guy about how Java treats NaNs in its library routines. Now, better educated on this subject, I want to make a proposal. Kahan asks that we not ignore NaNs. The reason for saying something is to allow users to write portable code; they must have some behavior on which they can rely. There is no problem with the elemental functions. SQRT(NaN) is NaN. The Fortran standard doesnt say this, as NaN is not included in its model for REAL values, but is seems to me that it goes without saying. For the reductions PROD, SUM, the IEEE rule dictate a NaN result when any of the array elements contributing to an element of the result is a NaN. Again, it seems to me that we don't have to say this. Trouble comes from MIN, MAX, MINVAL, MAXVAL, SORT_UP, SORT_DOWN, GRADE_UP, and GRADE_DOWN. The IEEE standard has no simple answer to the question of how NaNs compare with other numbers or other NaNs. Here is Guy's input concerning what Java does: "In Java, if either argument to max() or min() is NaN, the result is NaN." "Java has no position on SORT or GRADE. I would recommend that, for sorting purposes, NaN values should sort high with respect to finite values. A simple way to achieve this is to convert each floating-point number to a signed integer of the same size and then grade the integers (or sort them and convert back). The necessary conversion can be expressed in Java as: long j = Double.doubleToLongBits(x); if (j < 0) j ~= 0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF; j -= 0x000FFFFFFFFFFFFF; which is clearly invertible. This does cause the "negative" NaNs to sort higher than the "positive" NaNs---I don't think that matters; or a slightly more complex conversion can be used." Before we agree with the first of these decisions, so that maxval, minval, max, min (these are Fortran intrinsics, BTW) would all return NaN whan any of the elements of the input corresponding to an element of the result is NaN, we should look at an alternative: the result is always in the range [-Inf, +Inf]. NaN's play no role in determining the value of the result. Thus: MAX(5, NaN) == 5 MIN(5, NaN) == 5 MAX(NaN, NaN) = -Inf ! As if of an empty set (And note that Guy's nice implementation of sort doesnt work for the Java interpretation of MIN.) For the SORT routines, I don't like the definition NaN > +Inf, as it's not consistent with the behavior of MIN and MINVAL, and its wierd mathematically. I would prefer to put the NaNs at the end of the output, regardless of the direction of the sort. But that complicates Guy's implementation. Lastly, I suggest an elemental function ISAN that returns .true. if its input is not a NaN and .false. otherwise. We need to add NaNs to the HPF model for reals. Something like "A variable of type real may also have a value that does not represent any real number. Such a value is referred to as a NaN (Not a Number). The unary and binary operators that return real values will, in general, return a NaN if any of their arguments is a NaN. This is also true of the intrinsic elemental and reduction functions. Thus, for example, an element of the result of SUM(X) will be a NaN if any element of X that contributes to that element of the result is a NaN. The behavior of MIN, MAX, MINVAL, MAXVAL in the presence of NaNs is as follows. TBD. The SORT and GRADE functions of the HPF_LIBRARY also behave in a deterministic way when NaNs occur as elements of their inputs. (How is TBD). We could also just ignore NaNs and hope that the Fortran committee and some future HPFF will get this right. -- Rob --PAA17142.852594247/palrel1.hp.com-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To (un)subscribe to this list, send mail to hpff-core-request@cs.rice.edu.

My reasons: * There is more than one reasonable alternative, as you analyze. * NaN is not in the Fortran model for real numbers, so adding it would essentially be changing the numerics of the language (in a small way). * We cannot meet to discuss this before the draft is presented to the public. The interpretation of NaN is a reasonable question to send to hpff-interpret (priming the CCI pump for HPFUG). It is an even better question to send to X3J3. But if the issue is important we should not shoot from the hip in resolving it.

Reservations can be made by e-mail to rez@eldoradohotel.com Be sure to reference the HPF meeting. For those planning to arrive early, the Eldorado is booked solid Saturday (2/22). I have been on the phone looking for alternate sites and offer the following: If you are coming in on Saturday, a possibilty is to stay in Albuquerque. My experience is that rooms are fairly easy to find there on weekends (except during Fiesta). You might try the Sleep Inn, 1-888-337-3262 voice or 1-505-244-3312 Fax. The Sleep Inn is at International and Yale near the airport and offers airport transportation and a contintal breakfast. It's a new property too. The rate $45.00 plus tax (10.5%) for $49.76. Ask for the HPF rate.

We include both classic Grand Challenge applications and libraries as well as distributed simulation as in Forces Modeling seen in SIMNET/DSI. We include both parallel and sequential applications but will only consider Java for simulation as opposed to major commercial use of Java in Web Servers. We include both optimized Java native compilers for numerical kernels and interpreted Java "wrappers" for visualization. We also include research issues on Java language, compilers, interpreters and runtime systems. The workshop is aimed at getting a broad perspective of community interests and views, as well as more technical discussions. A similar Java workshop was held very successfully in Syracuse in 1996 (http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/javaforcse). A mailing list has been created for people interested in Java for Science and Engineering Computation. To join, send a message with "subscribe java-for-cse" to Majordomo@npac.syr.edu. Original submissions are invited in all areas including (but not restricted to): * Java in Simulation * Web based Computation Environments in Java * Optimized Compilation of Java * Just-In-Time vs. Offline Compilation * JVM as Compiler Intermediate Representation * Java Runtime Systems * Java I/O * Data Parallel Java * Mapping C, Fortran, and C++ to Java * Java as User Interface to Simulations * Java as Wrapper Technology for Existing Scientific Codes * Use of Java Applets to Illustrate Science for Education Papers should report new research and should not exceed 5000 words (approximately 10 typeset on 16-point spacing, or 15 typewritten double-spaced pages). Short papers (less than 3000 words) that describe existing implementations or work-in-progress, or outline new problems or important issues are also welcome. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and published in a special issue of the journal "Concurrency: Practice and Experience". SUBMISSION Electronic submission is preferred. Please e-mail a postscript copy of your submission or send three hard copies to one of the co-chairs. Submissions must be received by 5pm (Eastern Time) on April 10, 1997.
