The Concept of HPF

HPF is a set of extensions to the Fortran 90 language. Fortran 90 considered a better platform than C or C++.

HPF targets the Data Parallel programming paradigm which allows systems of interconnected processors to be easily programmed,

• each processor runs same program (SPMD)
• each processor operates on part of the overall data
• HPF directives say which processor gets what data
• executable statements define parallelism

Much simpler than writing message passing code - HPF brings parallel programming to the masses!
