1. CONTENTS

The Purdue set is a collecion of computational proposed by the Purdue 
University group [see: J.R. Rice, J. Jing, "Problems to Test Parallel and
Vector Languages", Purdue University Tech. Rep. CSD-TR-1016, 1990].

Actually, most of the problems of the set has been extracted from larger
computations and thus are somewhat artifical by themselves. However, they do
represents a sampling of practical computations.

We are using the Purdue set for initial tests of the Fortran-90D compiler
performace. As a consequence, the examples of Fortran-90D codes, a prototype
of High Performance Fortran are provided here.

For more details, see the original reference quoted above or our SCCS-327
tech. rep. you find in benchmark/doc directory.

2. ORGANIZATION

This directory is divided into subdirectories. Each subdirectory contains all
available sources in the Fortran dialect indicated by the subdirectory name.
Currently, we provide 

    f77    - fortran-77 sources: a modified versions of the original set we
             got from Purdue University
    cmf    - CM-fortran (for the Connection Machine)
 mpfortran - mpfortran  (for Maspar/DECmpp 120000)
   picl    - explicit message passing using PICL (developed on iPSC/860)
  express  - explicit message passing using ParaSotf's Express
    f90    - 'genuine' Fortran-90 sources (compiled by ParaSoft's Fortran-90
             compiler and run on SUN4 workstation)
    f90D   - Fortran-90D sources (compiled using Fortran-90D compiler developed
             at NPAC, Syracuse University in collaboration with Rice University
             and run on nCUBE-2, iPSC/860, Touchstone DELTA and a network of
             SUN4 workstations
