HIGH PERFORMANCE FORTRAN FORUM 1995 Meeting Announcement January 30-31, 1995 Doubletree Hotel Houston at Intercontinental Airport Houston, Texas The High Performance Fortran Forum (HPFF) has conducted meetings since 1992 to define High Performance Fortran, an extension to Fortran 90 providing support for portable data-parallel programming. The annual HPFF meeting in January serves as a forum to discuss recent developments in HPF, to propose new directions for the language, and encourage the use of the language. You are invited to attend this meeting. This year, in addition to implementation and user experience reports, the program includes talks on HPF environments, benchmark collections, and proposals for language changes. Details of the meeting agenda, local arrangements, and a registration form follow. Please note that the hotel cut-off date for the reserved block of rooms is January 9. We hope to see you in Houston.
