> >Because of the complexity and variety of parallel
> >architectures, an efficient machine-independent parallel programming
> >model is needed to make parallel computing truly usable for scientific
> >programmers.  We believe that Fortran D, a version of Fortran enhanced
> >with data decomposition specifications, can provide such a programming
> >model.  This paper presents the design of a prototype Fortran D compiler
> >for the iPSC/860, a MIMD distributed-memory machine.  Issues addressed
> >include data decomposition analysis, guard introduction, communications
> >generation and optimization, program transformations, and storage
> >assignment.  A test suite of scientific programs will be used to
> >evaluate the effectiveness of both the compiler technology and
> >programming model for the Fortran D compiler.
