abstract

The Opus project consists of a set of language extensions to HPF, a
source-to-source translator for converting the Opus syntax into HPF and
standard Fortran, and a multi-layered, thread-based runtime system. The
goal of this research is to provide language and runtime support for
integrating task and data parallelism in scientific and engineering codes.
