Active Memory Technology Ltd’s massively parallel Distributed Array Processor – DAP – is getting some enhanced Fortran software that has been developed by a spin-off from the UK government’s Alvey project, the collaboration between three companies and four universities, which finishes in February next year: previous versions of the language required the user to map the problem in question on to the DAP square array – in the Fortran-Plus Enhanced version of DAP’s high-level language, the compilation system maps vectors and matrices of any size and shape on to any DAP.
