An important goal for HPF is early compiler availability. Because full
Fortran 90 compilers may not be available in a timely fashion on all
platforms and implementation of some HPF features is more
complex than others, we have defined Subset HPF. Users who are
most concerned about multi-machine portability may choose to stay
within this subset initially. This subset language includes the
Fortran 90 array language, dynamic storage allocation, and long names
as well as the MIL-STD-1753 features ([29]), which are
already commonly used with FORTRAN 77 programs. The subset does not
include features of Fortran 90, such as generic functions and free
source form, that are not closely related to high performance on
parallel machines. Section describes Subset HPF.
