Message-ID: <13204@well.UUCP> Date: 18 Aug 89 16:50:54 GMT References: <259@loligo.cc.fsu.edu> Reply-To: rchrd@well.UUCP (Richard Friedman) Distribution: usa Organization: RCHRD 2855 Telegraph #415 Berkeley CA 94705 Lines: 13 VAST is a FORTRAN to FORTRAN preprocessor, not a compiler, that is used by a number of systems as the front-end to their compilers. VAST analyzes DO loops for vector/parallel-ization and inserts compiler directives. It also restructures the loops when possible (inverts loops, propagates scalars to vectors, etc.).
