1. Background and Problems (continued)
The Japanese HPF Association (JAHPF) has planned to supply the new
HPF compiler, HPF/JA (an extended version of HPF) in 2000.
The performance of the original HPF was questionable and users would
rather abandon the usage of HPF.
We have high expectations of HPF/JA because supercomputer
companies like Fujitsu and NEC in Japan have had good experiences with
compilers in operating vector-parallel machines.
Our MHD simulation code was fully vectorized and fully parallelized
in VPP Fortran supplied by Fujitsu Company.
