Experience using the Argonne-developed PARMACs macro package to implement a portable parallel programming environment is described. Fortran programs with intrinsic parallelism of coarse and medium granularity are easily converted to parallel programs which are portable among a number of commercially

This paper presents a survey of some of the tools, techniques, and constructs for the development of portable, multitasked Fortran programs. The study mainly focuses on existing software tools that Implement different approaches to achieving portability of multitasked Fortran programs for local and
Many parallel extensions to FORTRAN have been proposed by 'supercomputer' manufacturers. The major differences between these language extensions is reviewed briefly. The Principle of Conservation of Parallelism is also introduced, which is argued to be a desirable foundation on which to base the dev
