چکیده
HPF-Builder graphical environment provides an interactive and visual solution to edit and visualize HPF data mapping directives. It frees the HPF programmers of all the syntactic constraints. General and detailled visualizations give complete information about data distribution along the grids of processors. Compare several mappings implies to evaluate some statistics about load distribution and communications. This paper introduces an evolution of HPF-Builder which produces such statistics, and provides a graphical way to visualize them.

Visualization of Distributed Data Structures for HPF-like Languages
This paper motivates the usage of graphics and visualization for efficient utilization of HPF’s data distribution facilities. It proposes a graphical tooltkit consisting of exploratory tools and estimation tools which allow the programmer to navigate through complex distributions and to obtain graphical ratings with respect to load distribution and communication. The toolkit has been implemente...

متن کاملValue - Based Distributions and Alignments in Fortran DReinhard
Compiling irregular applications written in a data-parallel language, like Fortran D or High Performance Fortran (HPF), presents a challenge of growing importance. A major component of data-parallel programming is the data mapping, i.e., data distribution and alignment. Map-pings may be either regular, in which case they correspond to simple functions between array indices and owning processors...

Fortran 90 is the actual standard in term of data parallel language for scientiic computing. To develop a data parallel algorithm on a distributed memory machine, programmers generally use the High Performance Fortran extension of Fortran 90, in particular the data mapping directives. HPF-Builder graphical environment goal is to free the HPF programmers of all the syntactic constraints due to t...
متن کاملOptimal Compilation of Hpf
Applications with varying array access patterns in a parallel distributed memory machine require to dynamically change array mappings. Hpf (High Performance Fortran) provides such remappings, possibly on partially replicated data, explicitly through the realign and redistribute directives and implicitly at procedure calls and returns. However such features are left out of the hpf subset or of t...
