High Performance Fortran

language (HPF) A data parallel language extension to

Fortran 90 which provides a portable programming interface

for a wide variety of target platforms. The original HPF

language specification was produced by the High Performance

Fortran Forum, a broad consortium of industry and academia,

which met regularly throughout 1992 and early 1993. HPF

compilers are now available on most commonly-used computing

systems, and users are beginning to gain first hand experience

with this language. The Forum has continued to meet in order

to address advanced topics.
