Evaluation of HPF Products on the Cray-T3D
نویسنده
چکیده
High Performance Fortran is the emerging standard beyond Fortran 90 and is targeted for parallel machines. Although CRI is monitoring this standard closely, there is no HPF product currently available from CRI. There are two commercial offerings of HPF for the T3D, one from the Portland Group and the other from Applied Parallel Research. Both of these products work in conjunction with CRI’s existing Fortran compilers. This report surveys and evaluates these two products. Comparisons are made to the existing CRI products of Craft Fortran and Fortran 90. The evaluation covers functionality, ease of use and performance.

Evaluation of High Performance Fortran Through Application Kernels
Since the deenition of the High Performance Fortran HPF standard, we have been maintaining a suite of application kernel codes with the aim of using them to evaluate the available compilers. This paper presents the results and conclusions from this study, for sixteen codes, on compilers from IBM, DEC, and the Portland Group Inc. PGI, and on three machines: a DEC Alphafarm, an IBM SP-2, and a Cr...

متن کاملEvaluating PGHPF on the Cray T3D/T3E EPCC-TR98-02
At present, EPCC has access to the Portland Group’s HPF compiler, PGHPF, on the Cray T3D and T3E and on our workstation cluster. We evaluate certain aspects of the compiler which are specific to user’s programs, as opposed to standard benchmarking routines. This work was done in support of the MHD Consortium (led by Dr. Alan Hood) and was funded by the UK’s High Performance Computing Initiative...
متن کاملAirshed Pollution Modeling: A Case Study in Application Development in an HPF Environment
In this paper, we describe our experience with developing Airshed, a large pollution modeling application, in the Fx programming environment. We demonstrate that high level parallel programming languages like Fx and High Performance Fortran offer a simple and attractive model for developing portable and efficient parallel applications. Performance results are presented for the Airshed applicati...
