Abstract
Since the definition of the High Performance Fortran (HPF)
standard, we have been maintaining a suite of application kernel codes
with the aim of using them to evaluate the available compilers. This
paper presents the results and conclusions from this study, for
sixteen codes, on compilers from IBM, DEC, and the Portland Group Inc.
(PGI), and on three machines: a DEC Alphafarm, an IBM SP-2, and a Cray
T3D. From this, we hope to show the prospective HPF user that
scalable performance is possible with modest effort, yet also where
the current weaknesses lay.
