Abstract :
The authors propose constructs to specify I/O (input/output) operations for distributed data structures in the context of Vienna FORTRAN. These operations can be used by the programmer to provide information which will allow the compiler and runtime environment to optimize the transfer of data to and from secondary storage. Although the language constructs presented have been proposed in the context of Vienna FORTRAN, they can be easily integrated into any other high-performance FORTRAN extension
