| Abstract: | In the paper three distinct approaches to the implementation of an application in linear algebra on the AMT DAP 510 using the Fortran-Plus Enhanced language and compiler are investigated. In the first the implementation is tailored to fit a virtual array processor whose edge size corresponds to that of the maximum dimension of matrix used in the application. The second approach is a special case of the first, and corresponds to a situation in which the virtual array processor is constrained to have the same dimensions as the AMT DAP 510. The third approach may be considered to be a hybrid approach. In this case an implementation of the application is constructed which incorporates the most efficient features of the first two. Finally, comparisons of the performances of the three implementations, all of which were compiled using the Fortran-Plus Enhanced compiler, are presented. |
