Foil 70 Data Mapping in HPF

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


Data Mapping in HPF is all you need to do to get parallelism as long as you use the explicit array type syntax such as A=B+C
The Owner Computes rule implies that specifying location of variables specifies (optimally or not) parallel execution!
The new HPF-2 ON HOME directive is exception to this rule as specifies where a particular statement is to be executed
(RE)DISTRIBUTE tells you where data is to be placed
(RE)ALIGN tells you how different data structures are to be placed relative to each other
