High Performance Fortran (HPF) is anticipated to be an industry-wide standard language portable from workstations to massively parallel supercomputers, implemented by many vendors. Functions needed on the highest-performance parallel machines are particularly well-supported in HPF. The definition of HPF, (version 1, completed May 1993) incorporated feedback from a large number of users during the language design phase. The purpose of this workshop is to continue the interaction among developers of compilers and software developers. Specifically, this workshop focuses on the feedback from the implementors of HPF as well as from users of the initial implementations. The reports will be followed by a discussion for the purpose of gathering user and implementor input about how the HPF specification might be changed to strengthen the language and make it useful for a broader class of applications.
