Adaptor — A Transformation Tool for HPF Programs
Thomas Brandes, Falk Zimmermann · Birkhäuser Basel eBooks · 1994
Due to the existence of a global name space, the data parallel programming model is very comfortable to use. All communication requirements are implicit and therefore left to the compiler. To support this model even to general classes of parallel architectures, i.e. MIMD machines with distributed memory, High Performance Fortran (HPF) was developed. Beside a data parallel point of view the programmer has the ability to specify data distributions explicitly via directives. ADAPTOR (Automatic Data Parallism Translator) is a compilation tool for transformating programs written in data parallel Fortran style to programs with explicit message-passing constructs. This tool has been used to make experiences with HPF and to develop efficient and reliable compilation technology for future HPF compilers. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
