HPANDF: High Performance ANDF (Architecture Neutral Distribution Format) HPANDF: High Performance ANDF (Architecture Neutral Distribution Format)



SUMMARY
HPANDF is an extension of OSF's ANDF required to provide language-independent front-end / back-end factorization for data parallel languages such as HPF, APC or HPADA. This project develops the HPANDF design and builds a prototype implementation. At the current stage, the ANDF extensions required to support array operations such as Fortran90 matrix arithmetic are implemented and we are designing the translation of ALIGN and DISTRIBUTE directives.
