Publications and Documentation

SHPF

SHPF: a Subset High Performance Fortran compilation system (Gzipped Postscript, 35 Kbytes).

J. H. Merlin, D. B. Carpenter and A. J. G. Hey. Fortran Journal, pages 2-6, March/April 1996. A short paper giving an overview of SHPF.

SHPF release notes, version 0.96. (Gzipped Postscript, 51 Kb).

N.B. this is out-of-date. A new version will be produced soon.

SHPF installation notes, version 0.96. (Gzipped Postscript, 56 Kb).

N.B. this is out-of-date. A new version will be produced soon.

Slides of a talk on SHPF. (Gzipped Postscript, 127 Kb).

Describes some optimisations implemented in SHPF, and gives performance results for 2 programs: a conjugate gradient iteration solver and a multigrid solver.

ADLIB report. (Gzipped Postscript, 61 Kb).

Describes the ADLIB C++ class library (but not its Fortran 90 interface).

`Adhoc' report. (Gzipped Postscript, 72 Kb).

`Adhoc' is an intermediate representation that was designed in conjunction with ADLIB. It is not used within SHPF however.

Notes on a calculation placement scheme. (HTML, 27 Kb).

Notes on a scheme for mapping the intermediate results of expressions in FORALL, with a Prolog specification. This was preliminary research into the development of better heuristics for calculation placement than the `owner computes' rule. It is not implemented in SHPF.
