KAP V2.1 Optimizer Support for Fortran 90
HIGHLIGHTS
o Provides automatic optimization and parallel decomposition of Fortran 90
o Offers excellent efficiency and scalability on AlphaServer SMP ystems
o All KAP V2.1 optimizers for the Digital UNIX operating system offer
concurrent use licensing
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The KAP V2.1 optimizers are source-to-source preprocessors that
automatically restructure code for improved performance on both
uniprocessors and multiprocessors. The KAP V2.1 optimizers are now available
for the DEC Fortran 90, DEC Fortran, and C compilers on the Digital UNIX
operating system. When installed, the KAP V2.1 optimizers integrate with the
supported Digital compiler for seamless operation. All KAP V2.1 optimizers
for the Digital UNIX operating system now offer concurrent use licensing.
Major capabilities of the KAP V2.1 optimizers include automatic and directed
parallel decomposition; loop, memory management, and scalar optimizations;
and function inlining.
The KAP products may be evaluated on the Internet demo system: axposf. To
access the system, users can use telnet to login to axposf.pa.dec.com as
axpguest. No password is required. Users then fill out the form for a free
account.
BENEFITS
o Automatic optimization allows programmers to maintain a portable code
base, while taking advantage of optimization targeted specifically at the
Alpha architecture.
o Automatic parallel decomposition provides the easiest, fastest, and
safest means of achieving a multithreaded application that will benefit
from speed ups on AlphaServer SMP systems. There is no need to rewrite
the program or insert system calls or directives. The programs that are
processed by the KAP optimizers may be distributed free of royalties.
o Mixed language support means programs composed of modules written in any
combination of languages supported by the KAP optimizers may be
parallelized.
o Parallel programs can be scheduled for the fastest turnaround on
dedicated systems or maximum throughput on shared systems. The number of
threads to use may also be selected at runtime.
