Abstract
In this paper, we describe a Fortran programming environment using the KOAN Shared Virtual Memory on a distributed memory parallel architect ure. We then discuss its use for parallelizing a BECAUSE benchmark app lication and present performance results. Initial findings show that i t is possible to obtain good performance without the need for low leve l parallel programming.
