Foil 52 The High Performance Fortran Library

From HPCC Software Technologies Fall 96 -- Overview and HPF Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 26 September 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Much of HPF's Parallel "Power" is buried in its library
2 Personal note: Fortran 90D motivated by similarities between Caltech message passing "collective" communication and F90 Intrinsics
3 18 Non-elemental (true array) Fortran 90 Intrinsics e.g. CSHIFT, SUM
4 7 new HPF Intrinsics e.g. Alignment, Template, Distribution inquiries
5 4 new HPF Reduction (combine) Functions
6 11 new HPF Combine-Scatter Functions
7 22 new HPF Parallel Prefix Functions
8 2 new HPF Parallel Sorting Functions
9 3 other new HPF Parallel Functions
10 7 HPF Local Intrinsics
11 74 library routines (==> ~1000 routines when written in clumsy F77)
