Abstract

In this paper we describe the parallelization of a local area ocean circulation model using HPF. We find that this particular problem, leading to a typical data parallel algorithm is easily expressed in HPF. The problems which occurs is mainly due to restrictions in the current HPF-compilers.

We have run our program on 3 different platforms, using different HPF-compilers. and will report on the status of these compilers as measured by our problem.
