Foil 22 Importance of HPF, HPC++ to Users

From Programming Paradigms B CRPC/MCNC Workshop -- April 10-13 1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Standardized syntax lowers risk in application development
  • Can "guarantee" that code will run on future parallel machines with reasonable performance i.e. HPF, HPC++ are scalable standards
HPF, HPC++ benchmarks will enable easier comparison between different machines
  • Future procurements should (could) require HPF and HPC++?
Allows vendors to concentrate their scarce software resources
  • "All" parallel machines should offer HPCC Technologies
    • HPF
    • HPC++
    • MPI (Message Passing)
    • OSF etc.
