Abstract
In this paper, we present the first, preliminary results of
HPF/Fortran-D language analysis based on compiling and running benchmark
applications using a prototype implementation of HPF/Fortran-D compiler.
The analysis indicate that the HPF is a very convenient tool for programming
many applications on massively parallel and/or distributed systems.
In addition, we cumulate experience on how to parallelise irregular
problems to extend the scope of Fortran-D beyond HPF and suggest future
extensions to the Fortran standard.
