An evaluation of vector Fortran 200 generated by Cyber 205 andETA-10 pre-compilation tools

摘要

Vectorizing precompilers such as KAP/205 and VAST-2 complement theefficient use of Fortran on the CDC Cyber 205. With the advent of theETA-10 and its EOS/VSOS environment, the performance of these Fortran200 preprocessors has come under closer scrutiny. The extent or quantityof vectorization that can be achieved has been examined elsewhere withreference to a test set of Fortran DO loops. The quality of thetranslated code is also considered. KAP/205 and VAST-2 are contrasted inthis respect to reveal differences in the vectorized Fortran
