ARF

ARF (ARguably Fortran) is a compiler for irregular computations [27][26][25]. Distributed arrays are declared in ARF source. An ARF user can declare a mapping of an array in an irregular manner. It is capable of handling a wide range of irregular problems in scientific computing. The ARF compiler generates inspector and executor loops with embedded primitives. It provides an interface between application programs and the PARTI run-time support primitives using a set of run-time library routines that support irregular communication on MIMD distributed memory machines. The Fortran 90D/HPF compilation system may also use the PARTI[28] system to support irregular communications.
