Report EMP CRI A-284, February 1996. 9 pages, 15 references. Abstract As High Performance Fortran (HPF) is being both developed and redesigned by the HPF Forum, it is important to provide comprehensive criteria for analyzing HPF features. This paper presents such criteria related to three aspects: adequacy to applications, aesthetic and soundness in a language, and implementability. Some features already in HPF or being currently discussed are analyzed according to these criteria. They are shown as not balanced. Thus new or improved features are suggested to solve the outlined deficiencies: namely a scope provider, multiple mapping declarations and simpler remappings. http://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho/bibliography.html http://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho/doc/A-284.ps.gz http://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho/doc/A-284.ps Fabien. -- Fabien COELHO __ http://www.cri.ensmp.fr/~coelho __ coelho@cri.ensmp.fr CRI, ENSMP, 35, rue Saint Honoré, 77305 Fontainebleau Cedex, France phone: 33 1 64 69 {voice: 48 52, fax: 47 09, standard: 47 08} ________ All opinions expressed here are mine ________ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- To (un)subscribe to this list, send mail to hpff-task-request@cs.rice.edu.
