Fortran Parallel Programming Systems To address this problem, researchers have developed Fortran D, a set of extensions to Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 that permit the programmer to specify, in a machine-independent way, how to distribute a program's principal data structures among the processors of a parallel system. In addition, Fortran D makes programming easier than it is with explicit message-passing, because programmers can write codes that use a shared name space, independent of the target architecture. Programmers find a shared name space easier to use than a distributed name space because data placement and access issues can be ignored. Using sophisticated compiler techniques, these "high-level" programs can be compiled for both SIMD and MIMD parallel architectures.
