AFAIK, it was only supported for VS Fortran 2, and there was an extra set of libraries necessary to enable the VF code which you installed on top of the normal Fortran install. There was a second publication that discussed the VF support (developed at Cornell as part of the Cornell National Supercomputing Facility). They had a highly experimental 12 way (two 6 ways glued together somehow) and the VF code could also enable using the VFs on the "other" machine as well as the one you were on. I might have a copy of the extra pub somewhere; I know Rice's copy is probably gone.
I believe that Ken Kennedy at Rice added some code for VS PL/1 to use the thing (that's why we had one), but you had to program specially to use it, and that code was never widely distributed (it came with PTOOL (a nifty automated parallelism analyzer for Fortran), if you had it, as a freebie, I think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
