compiler for distributed memory multicomputers

abstract

Research in the Paradigm project aims to automate the selection
of data distributions, optimize communication and distribute
regular computations, support irregular computations using a
combination of compile-time analysis and run-time support,
exploit functional and data parallelism simultaneously, and
generate multithreaded message-driven code to hide communication
latencies.
The compiler currently accepts either a sequential Fortran 77
or HPF program and produces an explicit message-passing version --
a Fortran 77 program with calls to the selected message-passing
library and the Paradigm runtime system.
