Fortran 77D

One compiler related to Fortran 90D is the Fortran 77D compiler which was developed at Rice University[16][15]. The Fortran 77D compiler introduces and classifies a number of advanced optimizations needed to achieve acceptable performance. Fortran 77D compiler is guided by the concept of data dependency, unlike Fortran 90D. The compiler performs vector message pipelining, a technique that combines message vectorization and message pipelining to hide communication. It detects pipelined computations via cross-processor loops and exploits pipeline parallelism while balancing communication costs though coarse-grain pipelining [17].
