High Performance FortranComputingHigh Performance Fortran (HPF) A data parallel language extension to Fortran 90 which provides a portable programming interface for a wide variety of target platforms. The original HPF language specification was produced by the High Performance Fortran Forum, a broad consortium of industry and academia, which met regularly throughout 1992 and early 1993. HPF compilers are now available on most commonly-used computing systems, and users are beginning to gain first hand experience with this language. The Forum has continued to meet in order to address advanced topics. HPF+ at Vienna (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/hpf+/). ["High Performance Fortran: Status Report", G. L.
