Foil 121 Reductions in INDEPENDENT DO Loops

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 Many applications of INDEPENDENT DO loops do require reductions as they are typically calculating independently quantities but storing results as parts of various averages
2 e.g. in High Enegry Physics Data Analysis, each measured event can be computed via an INDEPENDENT DO but one wishes to find a particular observable (histogram, scatterplot) which is averaged over each event
3 Financial modelling is similar
4 x = 0
5 !HPF$ INDEPENDENT, NEW(xinc), REDUCTION(x)
6 do i = 1 , N
  • call sub(i, xinc)
  • x = x + xinc
7 END DO
8 xinc is a separate new variable each iteration but result is accumulated into global x
