Because of the complexity and variety of parallel archi-tectures, an eecient machine-independent parallel programming model is needed to make parallel computing truly usable for scientiic programmers. We believe that Fortran D, a version of Fortran enhanced with data decomposition speciications, can provide such a programming model.

The program dependence graph (PDG) is being used in research projects for compilation to parallel architectures, program version integration and program semantics. This paper describes the methods used in a prototype Fortran-to-PDG translator called the PDG Testbed. Implementation decisions and details of the PDG Testbed project are described as a complement to the formal papers detailing the a...

SVM-Fortran is a language designed t o program highly parallel systems with a global address space. A compiler for SVM-Fortran is described which generates code for parallel machines; our current target machine is the Intel Paragon X P / S with an SVMextension called ASVM. Performance numbers are given for applications and compared to results obtained with corresponding HPFversions.
