Local Routines Written in Fortran 90

The suggested interface to local SPMD routines written in Fortran 90 is the same as that for HPF local routines, with these few exceptions:

Only Fortran 90 constructs should be used; it may not be possible to use extensions peculiar to HPF such as FORALL and the HPF library routines.
It is recommended that Fortran 90 language processors to be used for this purpose be extended to support the HPF local distribution query routines GLOBAL_ALIGNMENT, GLOBAL_TEMPLATE, and GLOBAL_DISTRIBUTION as described in Section . It is also recommended that these facilities be defined in a Fortran 90 module named HPF_LOCAL_LIBRARY.
Assuming that the intent is to compile such routines with a non-HPF Fortran 90 compiler, the Fortran 90 program text should be in separate files rather than incorporated into HPF source code.
The suggested extrinsic kind keyword for this calling interface is F90_LOCAL.

The restrictions listed in Section ought to apply as well to local routines written in Fortran 90.
