Abstract
We present the E compiler and runtime library for the 'F' subset of the Fortran 95 programming language. 'F' provides first-class support for arrays, allowing E to implicitly evaluate array expressions in parallel using the SPU co-processors of the Cell Broadband Engine. We present performance results from four benchmarks that all demonstrate absolute speedups over equivalent 'C' or Fortran versions running on the PPU host processor. A significant benefit of this straightforward approach is that a serial implementation of any code is always available, providing code longevity, and a familiar development paradigm. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
