Force user's manual (revision). Interim report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7154205

A methodology for writing parallel programs for shared-memory multiprocessors was formalized as an extension to the Fortran language and implemented as a macro preprocessor. The extended language is known as the Force, and this manual describes how to write Force programs and execute them on the Flexible Computer Corporation Flex/32, the Encore Multimax and the Sequent Balance computers. The parallel extension macros are described in detail, but knowledge of Fortran is assumed.
