> >Massively parallel MIMD distributed-memory machines can provide
> >enormous computation power.  However, the difficulty of developing
> >parallel programs for these machines has limited their accessibility.
> >This paper presents compiler algorithms to automatically derive
> >efficient message-passing programs based on data decompositions.
> >Optimizations are presented to minimize load imbalance and
> >communication costs for both loosely synchronous and 
> >pipelined loops.  These techniques are employed in the compiler being
> >developed at Rice University for Fortran D, a version of Fortran
> >enhanced with data decomposition specifications.
