Abstract
New languages for distributed memory compilation, including High Performance Fortran (HPF), provide user directives for partitioning data among processors to specify parallelism. We believe that it will be important for distributed memory compilers for these languages to provide not only efficiency close to a hand-written message passing program, but also flexibility, so that the user is not always required to provide directives nor specify the number of physical processors. We describe distributed-memory compilation techniques for both optimization and flexibility. 1 Introduction The Ptran II compiler is a prototype compiler for High Performance Fortran (HPF)[6] that we are developing as a testbed for experimenting with distributed memory compilation techniques, including automatic data partitioning and parallelization, cost modeling, and global communication optimizations. Our design builds on the existing work in distributed memory compilation, including [20], [13, 12], [18], [2], ...
