MP Compatibility

• The 64-bit Fortran compiler supports all of the parallelization directives (such as C$DOACROSS, C$&, C$MP_SCHEDTYPE, C$CHUNK, C$COPYIN) supported by the 32-bit Fortran compiler. fef77 also supports PCF style parallel directives, which are documented in the MIPSpro Fortran 77 Programmer's Guide.

• The 64-bit Fortran compiler supports the same set of multiprocessing utility subroutine calls (such as mp_block and mp_unblock) as the 32-bit compiler.

  The 64-bit Fortran compiler supports the same set of environment variables (such as MP_SET_NUMTHREADS and MP_BLOCKTIME) as the 32-bit compiler.

• The -mp and -pfa switches are supported on both the 32-bit compilers and the 64-bit compilers.

  • -mp allows KAP to recognize hand-inserted parallelization directives.

  • -pfa enables automatic parallelization by KAP.
