A Compilation Approach For Fortran 90d/Hpf Compilers On Distributed Memory Mimd Computers, Zeki Bozkus, Alok Choudhary, Geoffrey C. Fox, Tomasz Haupt Jan 1993

A Compilation Approach For Fortran 90d/Hpf Compilers On Distributed Memory Mimd Computers, Zeki Bozkus, Alok Choudhary, Geoffrey C. Fox, Tomasz Haupt

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

This paper describes a compilation approach for a Fortran 90D/HPF compiler, a source-to-source parallel compiler for distributed memory systems. Different from Fortran 77 parallelizing compilers, a Fortran90D/HPF compiler does not parallelize sequential constructs. Only parallelism expressed by Fortran 90D/HPF parallel constructs is exploited. The methodology of parallelizing Fortran programs such as computation partitioning, communication detection and generation, and the run-time support for the compiler are discussed. An example of Gaussian Elimination is used to illustrate the compilation techniques with performance results.


Integrating Multiple Programming Paradigms On Connection Machine Cm5 In A Dataflow-Based Software Environment, Gang Cheng, Geoffrey C. Fox, Kim Mills Jan 1993

Integrating Multiple Programming Paradigms On Connection Machine Cm5 In A Dataflow-Based Software Environment, Gang Cheng, Geoffrey C. Fox, Kim Mills

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

By viewing different parallel programming paradigms as essential heterogeneous approaches in mapping "real-world" problems to parallel systems, we discuss methodologies in integrating multiple programming models on a Connection Machine CM5. In a data flow based integration model built in a visualization software AVS, we demonstrate a simple, effective and modular way to couple sequential, data-parallel and explicit message-passing modules into an integrated programming environment on the CM5.
