β¦ Synopsis
This paper discusses the software challenges that must be met if we are to effectively use the massively parallel supercomputers of the future. Focusing on Fortran, the discussion includes an assessment of the prospects for fully automatic parallelization of conventional programs and presents the principal features needed in software environments for parallel programming.

It is generally held that benchmark software for supercomputers has to be more complex than that used for mainframes because of the parallel/vector processing capabilities available on supercomputers. In addition, such benchmark software measure only CPU performance (although some may be defined to
Japanese supercomputer development activities in the industry is reviewed. Architectures and softwares of Japanese supercomputer systems in the last 20 years are described and discussed. Special emphasis is put on the similarities and dierences of the systems.
