Abstract

Three compilers for HPF that target the IBM Scalable POWERparallel System (SP) and networked clusters of IBM RISC System/6000 workstations are reviewed and contrasted: Applied Parallel Research, Inc., xHPF, Version 2.1(11); Portland Group, Inc., pghpf, Version 2.1; IBM, XL HPF, Version 1.1.0.0. Their language-handling characteristics and attributes such as integration with other tools is summarized. The general architecture of each compiler is described. Particular attention is paid to details of code generated by each compiler from small example HPF source codes.
