Abstract

High Performance Fortran Languages such as Vienna Fortran and High Performance Fortran (HPF) allow the programming of massively parallel machines at a relatively high level of abstraction, based on a user-specified distribution of data across the processors of the machine. In this paper we examine the parallelization of two advanced applications - which require irregular data and work distributions - in Vienna Fortran and identify the reasons why the current version of HPF does not provide adequate functionality for formulating efficient parallel versions of these codes.
