Foil 92 Subprograms 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


Scope of any mapping directives is a single (sub)program unit
A template or distribution is not a first-class Fortran 90 object:
It cannot be passed as a subprogram argument and this creates significant complication!
HPF Compiler will typically pass an extra argument which is effectively an array-descriptor telling subroutine about distribution of passed arrays
One can use array query intrinsics to find out what is going on but of course compiler does this implicitly
