Distributed-memory systems are powerful tools for solving large-scale scientiic and engineering problems. However these machines are diicult to program since the data have to be distributed across the processors and message-passing operations must be inserted for communicating non-local data. In this paper, we discuss SUPERB and Vienna Fortran, two related developments with the objective of pro...
