Overview

This document is the Journal of Development for the High Performance Fortran (HPF) language. It contains proposals considered for High Performance Fortran but not included for any of several reasons, including:

• lack of time to complete within the one year time frame of HPF, or
• lack of consensus on the syntax, semantics, or pragmatics of the proposed feature.

In most cases it was felt that the features in this Journal of Development represented capabilities that should be in a language for high performance computing. The High Performance Fortran Forum decided that these proposals should be preserved as input to a potential future HPF-II process.

Information on the goals of HPF, its specific features, and credits to the members of the High Performance Fortran Forum are found in the companion document High Performance Fortran Language Specification.
