VIEW Directive

The VIEW attribute provides a mechanism to allow the same set of abstract processors to be viewed as having different rectilinear geometries, possibly of differing rank. (This feature is sometimes loosely called ``EQUIVALENCE for processors arrangements.'')

• A permutation, if present, must be a constant integer array, syntactically expressed as an array constructor, whose elements are a permutation of the values , where is the rank of the associated processor-name. If it is omitted and the processor-name names a non-scalar processors arrangement, it is as if the identity permutation (/ 1, 2, ..., /) had been specified.
• The VIEW directive may appear only in a declaration-part of a program.

Note that the possibility of a VIEW directive of the form _=13_}
