[comp.lang.fortran] Info wanted on Parallel Fortran Compilers

bron@bronze.wpd.sgi.com (Bron Campbell Nelson) (06/28/89)

I am trying to get some information on the features of other vendor's
parallel Fortran compilers (so I can compare them to the features of
our parallel Fortran).  To that end, I would like to simply order the
appropriate manual(s) from the company, and read it for myself.

Trouble is, I don't know exactly what to order.  Undoubtably, it will
be something like "[Parallel] FORTRAN User's Guide", but 'something like'
doesn't cut it with order entry people.  I am appealing to the net for
help.  If your Fortran compiler has parallel extensions, please email me
the name of the manual, the model of the machine, and (if possible) the
manual's part number.  We are interested in any availible implementation
(e.g. Alliant, Ardent, Cray, Encore, IBM, Sequent, etc.; appologies if I
left your company off the list).  I have a VMS 5.0 manual already.

Please do *not* offer to send a photocopy of a manual.  We are trying
to keep this honest and above board.  If a company is not willing to
sell us a manual, that's our though luck.  We are not looking for gory
details of the compiler internals; just the user's guide describing
the feature set.

Thanks for any information you can provide.  If there is enough interest,
I'll post a summary to the net.
