The Fortran-P Translator: Towards Automatic Translation of Fortran 77 Programs for Massively Parallel Processors

Massively parallel processors (MPPs) hold the promise of extremely high performance that, if realized, could be used to study problems of unprecedented size and complexity. One of the primary stumbling blocks to this promise has been the lack of tools to translate application codes to MPP form. In this paper we show how applications codes written in a subset of Fortran 77 called Fortran-P can b...

Towards a Fortran 90 Interface to the POSIX Threads Library

Pthreads is a POSIX standard established to control the spawning, execution and termination of multiple threads within a single process. Because of a much lower overhead, use of Pthreads is an attractive approach. Under this programming paradigm on a shared-memory system, threads execute within a single address space, although multiple processors may be employed to execute the various threads. ...

Parametric Fortran - A Program Generator for Customized Generic Fortran Extensions

We describe the design and implementation of a program generator that can produce extensions of Fortran that are specialized to support the programming of particular applications. Extensions are specified through parameter structures that can be referred to in Fortran programs to specify the dependency of program parts on these parameters. By providing parameter values, a parameterized Fortran ...
