High Performance Fortran. An extension to the Fortran 90 Standard that provides user-directed data distribution and alignment. HPF is not a standard, but rather a set of features desirable for parallel programming.
A language specification published in 1993 by experts in compiler writing and parallel computation, the aim of which is to define a set of directives which will allow a Fortran 90 program to run efficiently on a distributed memory machine. At the time of writing, many hardware vendors have expressed interests, a few have preliminary compilers, and a few independent compiler producers also have early releases. If successful, HPF would mean data parallel programs can be written portably for various multiprocessor platforms.
High Performance Fortran. See the HPF section of the HPCinfo data-parallel software page.
