Abstract
Workstation farms are primarily used in single-threaded batch jobs, but there is a growing community of users interested in using farms as “degenerate” MPP systems. The lack of stable system software has stalled the growth of the MPP market, and “parallel” farms may potentially follow the same fate. We believe that high performance Fortran is the right answer to the needs of the parallel programming community. The paper discusses workstation farms and focuses on the HPF language and compiler
