A test suite approach for Fortran90D compilers on MIMD distributed memory parallel computers

Abstract

Describes a test suite approach for a Fortran90D compiler, a source-to-source parallel compiler for distributed memory systems. Different from Fortran77 parallelizing compilers, a Fortran90D compiler does not parallelize sequential constructs. Only parallelism expressed by Fortran90D parallel constructs is exploited. The authors discuss compiler directives and the methodology of parallelizing Fortran programs. An introductory example of Gaussian elimination is used, among other programs in the test suite, to explain the compilation techniques.<>
