HPF is a set of extensions to Fortran 90 that provide access to
high-performance architecture features while maintaining portability
across platforms.

The High Performance Fortran Forum (HPFF) 
(http://www.crpc.rice.edu/HPFF/home.html)
is a coalition of industry, academic and laboratory
representatives that works to define the HPF language
specification.  See the HPFF home page for more information
about HPF, including a searchable database of HPF compiler
implementations and an archive of the HPFF email discussion list.
The HPFF home page also has HTML versions of the HPF 1.0 and 1.1
language specification documents.
