The general charter of the 94 series of HPFF meetings is:

__________________________


1. CCI -  Corrections, clarifications, interpretations
        including clarifying the ways that HPF 1.0 already supports
        course-grained parallelism - e.g.   independent loops.

2.  Encourage "industrial strength" implementations:
        more notes to implementors
        collect, publish practical programming kernels
        support establishment of validation suite

3. Identify, flesh out requirements for HPF 2.0
        but don't "develop" these requirement yet. Candidates are:
        parallel I/O, irregular grids, additional  tasking.

4. Produce an HPF 1.x document
