The DEC High Performance Fortran 90 compiler front end
David B. Loveman · 2002
Digital has developed a compiler for full Fortran 90 and the High Performance Fortran extensions to Fortran 90. This compiler targets Digital's Alpha workstations, servers, shared-memory SMP servers, and distributed memory AdvantageCluster and workstation farm systems. This paper gives an overview of the structure of the compiler's front end component, responsible for lexical analysis, syntax analysis, and semantic analysis. It also presents, by means of an example, the compiler's high-level platform-independent common intermediate representation.>
