Foil 113 HPF Goals

From MetaComputing -- MRA Meeting Part I:Concepts and Issues Tutorial for CRPC MRA Meeting at Cornell -- May 7 1996. by Mark Baker, Geoffrey Fox
HPFF goals were to define a language that offers:
Data parallel programming (Single threaded, global name space, loosely synchronous parallel computation).
Top performance with SIMD and MIMD machines with non-uniform memory access costs.
Code tuning for various architectures.
These goals were addressed in the form of new intrinsics and first class language constructs.
