Parallelizing applications with SVM-Fortran

SVM-Fortran is a language extension of Fortran 77 developed by KFA for shared memory parallel programming on distributed memory systems. It provides special language features for optimization of data locality and load balancing. SVM-Fortran is designed for shared virtual memory systems as well as for highly parallel computers with a hardware-based global address space. The article describes the implementation of SVM-Fortran on the Intel Paragon as well as parallelization aspects and performance results of some applications
