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_. 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: - The entire document in Postscript format: ftp://titan.cs.rice.edu/public/HPFF/draft/hpf-v20-final.ps.gz - The entire document in DVI format: ftp://titan.cs.rice.edu/public/HPFF/draft/hpf-v20-final.dvi.gz - The entire document in LaTeX 2e format: ftp://titan.cs.rice.edu/public/HPFF/draft/hpf-v20-final.tar.gz (To run LaTeX, unzip and untar the file to create a directory hpf-v20-final, then go to that directory and run LaTeX on hpf-report.tex) 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 and request a copy of CRPC-TR-92225. There is a $50.00 charge to cover copying and shipping costs. We hope to have the specification 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 when that version arrives. We are also planning to move the specification to a faster FTP server, but copies will continue to be available at the above URL as well. Don't be suprised if you see other URLs in future announcements. I'd like to thank all of the people who have made this document possible, particularly: * Ken Kennedy, Chair of HPFF * Mary Zosel, Executive Director of HPFF * David Loveman, Chapter editor * Larry Meadows, Chapter editor * Carol Munroe, Chapter editor * Piyush Mehrotra, Chapter editor * Carl Offner, Chapter editor * P.

Instructions for adding or deleting yourself from this list appear at the bottom of this message. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would first apologize for my ignorance. I am at present using FORTRAN for has 6 years for Finite element analysis with my own code. Previously I used FORTRAN 77, now I use FORTRAN 90 by MS FORTRAN. I wish to know the following a) What is this high performance FORTRAN? Is it FORTRAN 90 or some thing again new and different? b) If it is new, how can I learn? Can I order or down load a manual? I am looking forward to buying a machine with budget about $22000(including software). I was looking for DEC Alpha as it is 64 bit operation, with 500 MH clock speed with either linux or NT. Most of the FORTRAN's like MS FORTRAN and others I looked are 32 big FORTRAN. May be they don't work. However DEC has its own FORTRAN. I am not sure what it is - FORTRAN 77 or FORTRAN 90. Now what should I do to get the fastest computational facility in highly CPU oriented work. All I need is speed. Graphic facility is not necessary. However I need a good graphic debug tool. Am I in the wrong place?
