"KROC 0.7beta for PowerPC Architecture" by Alastair Allen <eng267@abdn.ac.uk> This is the binary release of the Aberdeen port of KRoC to the PowerPC architecture. It is based on KRoC 0.7 Beta.

The port has been developed for the Parsytec Power Xplorer with PowerPC 601 Processors and is based on Parix version 1.2 with a Sun host running Solaris 2.5

Anyone interested in porting the system to other PowerPC based operating systems should contact the author.

"MPC project" (MPC) by Alexandre Fenyo <alex@asim.lip6.fr>, Iquipe Architecture des Systhmes et Micro-Ilectronique, Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris 6, Couloir 55-65, 2hme itage, Universiti Pierre et Marie Curie, 4, place Jussieu, 75252 Paris Cedex 05, France; FAX: +33 1 44 27 62 86 MPC is a parallel computer. Our project goal is to design a high performance/low cost multiprocessor, using standard Pentium based PC-boards as nodes, Unix FreeBSD operating system, and a high speed communication network built on the gigabit-HSL (High Speed Link) IEEE-1355 technology. MPC includes both hardware and software components.

"Compiling High Performance Fortran to Message Passing" by Thomas Brandes <brandes@gmd.de>, German National Research Center for Information Technology (GMD), Schlo Birlinghoven, D-53754 St. Augustin, Germany ABSTRACT: ADAPTOR is a public domain High Performance Fortran compilation system that provides the comfortable data parallel programming paradigm on parallel machines with distributed memory. Therefore, the data parallel programs with their global view of data are translated to programs that work on the local parts of the distributed data and exchange the other needed data via message passing. This paper describes the design and the implementation of the ADAPTOR system and discussesits portability by using a portable messagepassing interface. The advantages of using the new message passing interface MPI are outlined. Furthermore, the combination of data parallel programs with efficient message passage programs is discussed that will allow the use of existing libraries.
