Abstract
We evaluate the High-Performance Fortran (HPF) language for expressing
and implementing algorithms for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
applications on high performance computing systems. In particular we
discuss: implicit methods such as the ADI
algorithm, full-matrix methods such as the panel method, and sparse matrix
methods such as conjugate gradient.
We focus on regular meshes, since these can be efficiently
represented by the existing HPF definition.
The codes discussed are available on the World Wide Web at
{\bf http://www.npac.syr.edu/hpfa/} alongwith other educational and
discussion material related to applications in HPF.
