This guide describes efficient methods for shared-memory programming
using an Exemplar compiler: HP Fortran 90, HP aC++
(ANSI C++), HP Fortran 77, or HP C
on computers running the HP-UX operating system. The first four
chapters cover basic concepts, including automatic optimizations
and simple manual optimizations that require minimal programmer
intervention. In the following chapters, more progressive topics
are covered, including advanced manual optimizations and the Compiler
Parallel Support Library.
The Exemplar Programming Guide is for
experienced Fortran 90, Fortran 77, C, and C++
programmers. Readers need not be familiar with the Exemplar parallel
architectures, programming model, or optimization concepts; this
book addresses these topics in the necessary detail.
