The benchmark's source versions

The heavy importance of the compiler in number crunching application is the major cause for migration of the compilers' preprocessor, a critical technological component of the supercomputer microcosm of the eighties, to the mainstream of the RISC chip world, in the first half of the nineties. Thanks to these preprocessors, and to other beautifiers and F90 translators, the original source evolves into many derived versions available here:

• the SPAG version comes from 's fortran source reorganizer (06/1988);
• the STRUCT version structured by FOR_STRUCT, v2.0, (s=v sp=ddegl v) (02/1992);
• the
  • FOREST and
  • FOREST90 versions come from ForeSys' fortran restructurer by ConneXité - (08/1993);
• the versions comes from
  • KAP/Alpha_OSF_F 1.5 k171117 931012 o5r3so3 (08/1994) or from
  • KAP/Apogee 4.0 for SPARC 4.0 k280400 961218 o5r3so3 (05/1997) with option -ag=ab ;
• the VAST versions comes from
  • IBM xlf 3.1 (-Pv! -Wp,-l,-ea789), (translated by IBM AIX XL FORTRAN Preprocessor/6000, Version 02.01.0000.0000 3.03G17a (1991) or from
  • Pacific-Sierra Research VAST-2, Version 03.01.0000.0000 4.03H24 (1994));

• the C version comes from a translation by ATT's f2c, ( "version of 27 June 1990 8:41:01" obtained from netlib@research.att.com) .
