  abstract =     "For many applications, achieving good performance on a
                 private memory parallel computer requires exploiting
                 data parallelism as well as task parallelism. Depending
                 on the size of the input data set and the number of
                 nodes (i.e. processors), different tradeoffs between
                 task and data parallelism are appropriate for a
                 parallel system. Most existing compilers focus on only
                 one of data parallelism and task parallelism.
                 Therefore, to achieve the desired results, the
                 programmer must separately program the data and task
                 parallelism. The authors have taken a unified approach
                 to exploiting both kinds of parallelism in a single
                 framework with an existing language. This approach
                 eases the task of programming and exposes the tradeoffs
                 between data and task parallelism to the compiler. They
                 have implemented a parallelizing Fortran compiler for
                 the iWarp system based on this approach. They discuss
                 the design of the compiler, and present performance
                 results to validate the approach.",
