The HPF standard now describes an
EXTRINSIC(LANGUAGE="0DF77"0D,MODEL="0DLOCAL"0D)
interface, or EXTRINSIC(F77_LOCAL) to use the
keyword identification (see Section 
for its
description), similar in characteristics to the
EXTRINSIC(LANGUAGE="0DHPF"0D,MODEL="0DLOCAL"0D)
and
EXTRINSIC(LANGUAGE="0DFORTRAN"0D,MODEL="0DLOCAL"0D)
interfaces. This
section describes a set of library routines to make it easier to make
use of the F77_LOCAL interface when passing distributed array
data. These library routines can facilitate, for example, a portable
blend of global data parallel code with preexisting FORTRAN 77-based
code using explicit message passing calls for interprocessor
communication. The FORTRAN 77 Local Library interface described in
this section was originally developed as part of Thinking Machines
TMHPF and is now supported by Sun Microsystems Inc. For suggestions,
requests, or corrections concerning this interface, please contact
