Abstract
Over the past few years, there have been major efforts in developing programming languages and compiler support for distributed memory machines. These languages provide mechanisms which distribute large data arrays across a set of processors. Languages such as Vienna-Fortran, Fortran-D and HPF follow this approach. Existing prototype compilers such as the Vienna-Fortran Compilation System, produce single-program-multiple-data (SPMD) code with message passing and/or run-time communication primitives.
This work was supported by the Ministry of Education and Science (CICYT) of Spain under project TIC96-1125-C03-01 and by the Human Capital and Mobility program of the European Union (ERB4050P1921660)
