Overview of HPF 2.0 Language Features

 

The language defined in this document consists of two main parts:

• The HPF 2.0 Language (Part ii)
• HPF 2.0 Approved Extensions (Part iii)

The HPF 2.0 language includes features that are expected to be implementable within a year of release of the language specification. These include basic data distribution features, data parallel features, intrinsic and library routines, and the extrinsic mechanism. The Approved Extensions include advanced features that meet specific needs, but are not likely to be supported in initial compiler implementations.
