附录B 对前面HPFF的致谢

    BACKWARD FORWARD


如果没有前面的一系列HPFF会议所作的贡献,就不可能有今天的HPF2.0文档。下面是对那些努力的致谢。

B.1  HPFF致谢

HPF1.0的技术开发是由各分组执行的,而对这些开发的检查则是由整个委员会执行的。下面是主要负责人名单:

Geoffrey Fox与Ken Kennedy一起召集了第一次HPFF会议,并在后来领导了一个组来开发HPF的benchmark。Clemens-August Thole在欧洲组织了一个组并帮助建立了这一国际合作。Charles Koelbel建立了详细的会议备忘录,该备忘录对各分组首脑准备草稿的后续修订是无价的。Guy Steele为不同任务开发了LATEX宏,包括格式化BNF语法,Fortran代码和伪代码,以及注释性材料;没有他的努力本文档就不会如此美观。

许多公司,大学,以及其它实体都支持它们的雇员直接或间接地参加HPFF会议。下列组织在两次或更多次会议上由下列人员所代表(由于没有准确的会议纪录,因此不包括那些参加1992年1月会议的人。)

HPFF94的一个重要举动是处理许多用于注释和解释的细节,这些举动导致了语言文档的更新。这里对IBM的Henry Zongaro,致以特殊的谢意,它的许多思想性问题预先将语言设计的死角暴露出来,还要感谢Thinking Machines/Sun Microsystems的Guy Steele,他对所讨论的一些棘手问题的解答作出了分析。一般性的感谢那些提出注释和解释要求的人,包括:

David Loveman, Michael Henneche, James Cownie, Adam Marshall, Stephen Ehrlich, Mary Zosel, Matt Snyder, Larry Meadows, Dick Hendrickson, Dave Watson, John Merlin, Vasanth Bala, Paul.Wesson, Denis.Hugli, Stanly Steinberg, Henk Sips, Henry Zongaro, Eiji_Nunohiro, Jens Bloch Helmers, Rob Schreiber, David B. Serafini, Allan Knies。

其它需要特殊提及的是:Rice大学的Chuck Koelbel,他继续维护了HPFF mailing列表,Mississippi State大学的 Donna Reese及员工,他们为HPFF建立并维护了一个homepage,Maryland大学建立了一个benchmark FTP节点。

Rice大学的Theresa及员工负责会议计划和组织,Danny Powell继续处理工程的金融细节。

HPFF从ARPA,DOC和NSF接受了研究和管理方面的直接支持,这里一并感谢。
