Instructions for adding or deleting yourself from this list appear at the bottom of this message. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The appended note is something I think the HPF community might find interesting. Norton and his collaborators have been working on paradigms for doing object-oriented programming for scientific codes using Fortran 90. Their papers are rather fascinating. In their papers, among other things, they contrast F90 OOPs programming and C++ OOPs programming paradigms, noting the differences in the way OOPs programming is done with these two languages and discussing performance across several MPP and serial platforms. The real significance of the work these guys are doing seems to me to be that they are developing paradigms for doing true object-oriented programming with Fortran 90, including the use of inheritance (though a form of inheritance that is more restrictive than that in C++). I have not seen anything this comprehensive on the subject before, so I highly recommend people taking a look at it. It would be great to see HPF programmers adopting some of the approaches they suggest. Maybe if we ask these guys, we can get them to come to the February HPF meeting and discuss some of this? How about it organizers? Regards, John --- Dr. John K.

As in the CACM article, we have studied the issues listed using compilers on workstations and distributed-memory supercomputers. Regarding performance comparisons to Fortran 90, our experience is that performance varies based on the compiler used. However, some of our recent Fortran 90 object-oriented programs now outperform the Fortran 77 versions, and both still outperform our C++ programs. Many of the publications on the web pages address other paradigm-related issues, including the influence language features have on abstraction modeling and the implications for scientific programming. Preliminary tech-reports are available for publications not accessible from the web. If you have any comments on the web site (it is still in development), or would like to contribute in some way, please contact us.

Both courses have a similar structure. A topic can be sleceted from the contents page which will display an overview of the selected subject. The user can then either follow a hypertext link to a more detailed explanation or, choose to attempt a programming exercise instead. After the user has finished the exercise, a solution may be viewed. In many cases the user can retrieve a solution template to help him or her get started. Both of these courses are available over the Internet or for local installation by academic institutions as part of an Intranet. Use of these courses for commercial purposes may be available upon request. The traditional paper-based versions of these courses have been used by many UK academic and research institutions and have received good reports - any feedback on the interactive HTML-based versions is strongly welcomed. The paper-based version are still available. The main point of access should be URL: http://www.liv.ac.uk/HPC/HPCpage.html The Fortran 90 course covers all the major language topics: declarations, expressions and assignment, control constructs, arrays, intrinsics, I/O, program units (procedures), modules, pointers, derived types, parameterised data types. http://www.liv.ac.uk/HPC/HTMLFrontPageF90.html The HPF course covers most topics excluding dynamic mappings: Fortran 90 - declarations, - expressions and assignment, - control constructs, - arrays (parallel assignment), - intrinsics, - I/O, - program units (procedures), - modules, HPF - data parallelism, - HPF directives, - array distribution, - data alignment, - templates, - data parallel execution (FORALL, INDEPENDENT NEW, PURE), - procedures (and INTERFACEs), - modules, - HPF Intrinsics and Library, - Extrinsics (using libraries, exploiting parallelism), - choosing distributions, - HPF Kernel, - HPF-2 http://www.liv.ac.uk/HPC/HTMLFrontPageHPF.html --- Adam Marshall, CSD, University of Liverpool. 29 Nov 1996.
