\section*{Outline Description}

     {\em High Performance Fortran} (HPF) is the new language standard
for developing Scientific programs to run on distributed memory
supercomputers.  It consists of a set of extensions to Fortran 90.
Whilst several software vendors have announced implementations of HPF,
with promised availability in the near future, we propose to develop a
portable HPF translation system which would be made freely available to
HE establishments.

     Importing expertise from the University's Department of
Electronics and Computer Science, where research on HPF and precursor
systems has been pursued for several years, we can credibly produce a
prototype system within the academic year 93/94.  Follow-on funding
would allow the prototype to be developed to a product standard,
and subsequently improved and maintained.
