Performance issues of an HPF-like compiler. (English) Zbl 1032.68055

Summary: The performance of High Performance Fortran (HPF) applications depends on their inherent parallelism and on the strategies adopted by compilers to distribute work and data among the processors. The evaluation of the performance of these applications has to consider all the aspects which in different ways determine such performance. The experimental approach presented here focuses on performance analysis of HPF kernels with the objectives of characterizing the preprocessing and communication overheads associated with the work and data distributions and of highlighting the benefits from reusing communication schedules.
