Automatic migration from PARMACS to MPI in pstsllrl Fortran applications

摘要

The PARMACS message passing interface has been in widespread use by application projects, especially in Eu- rope. With the new MPI standard for message passing, many projects face the problem of replacing PARMACS with MPI. An automatic translation tool has been developed which re- places all PARMACS 6.0 calls in an application program with their corresponding MPI calls. In this paper we describe the mapping of the PARMACS programming model onto MPI. We then present some implementation details of the converter tool.
