Block Distribution

Give equal sized chunks of an array to each processor. For example,

       PROGRAM Chunks
       REAL, DIMENSION(20)       :: A
 !HPF$ PROCESSORS, DIMENSION(4)  :: P
 !HPF$ DISTRIBUTE (BLOCK) ONTO P :: A
   ....

If an array, A has elements and is mapped onto processors each processor gets a block of (a maximum) of elements.

In this case each processor gets five elements.
