Abstract :
Data partitioning and mapping is one of the most important steps of writing a parallel program, especially a data parallel one. Recently, Fortran D, and subsequently, High Performance Fortran (HPF) have been proposed to allow users to specify data distributions and alignments for the arrays in their programs. The paper presents the design of the data partitioning module of Fortran 90D compiler that processes the alignment and distribution directives
