Design of an Application Development Toolkit for HPF / Fortran 90 D

The development of eecient application software capable of exploiting available High Performance Computing (HPC) systems is non-trivial and is largely governed by the availability of suuciently high-level languages, tools, and application development environments. In this paper we describe the design and operation of a toolkit for HPF/Fortran 90D application development. The toolkit incorporates the fol-The toolkit has been implemented on the iPSC/860 hypercube system, and is supported by an interactive , graphical user interface (ESPView) which provides application developers with the following func-tionality: design evaluation capability, functional ver-iication capability, performance visualization support, experimentation capability, compilation support, and execution support.
