HPF

High Performance Fortran Forum, an informal group of people from academia, industry and national labs, led by Ken Kennedy, developed a language called HPF (High Performance Fortran) [18][2]. HPF language combines the full Fortran 90 language with special user annotations dealing with data distribution It is expected that HPF will be the standard programming language for computationally intensive applications on many types of machines, such as traditional vector processors and newer massively parallel MIMD and SIMD multiprocessors. Companies that have already committed to developing compilers and/or supporting HPF include Intel, TMC, Portland Group(PGI), DEC, IBM, and others.
