New Java-Enhanced Versions of Fortran90 and HPF Courses
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The Computing Services Department of The University of Liverpool
announce the availability of enhanced versions of their popular
Web-based Fortran 90 and High Performance Fortran Courses 
(available free for non-commercial use).

The enhanced courses contain many corrections as a result of feedback from
users and also incorporate interactive Java-based 
multiple-choice questions at the end of many of the pages. 
These latter additions greatly increase the usefulness of 
the courses for self-teaching.

The enhanced courses are available over the Internet or (by request) for 
local installation by academic institutions as part of an Intranet. Use of
these courses for commercial purposes may be available upon request.

The main point of access should be URL:

        http://www.liv.ac.uk/HPC/HPCpage.html


The Fortran 90 course covers all the major language topics: 

	declarations,
	expressions and assignment, 
	control constructs, 
	arrays, 
	intrinsics, 
	I/O,
	program units (procedures), 
	modules, 
	pointers, 	
	derived types, 
	parameterised data types.

The HPF course covers most topics excluding dynamic mappings:

	Fortran 90 
		- declarations,
		- expressions and assignment, 
		- control constructs, 
		- arrays (parallel assignment),
		- intrinsics, 
		- I/O,
		- program units (procedures), 
		- modules, 

	HPF
		- data parallelism,
		- HPF directives,
		- array distribution,
		- data alignment,
		- templates,
		- data parallel execution (FORALL, INDEPENDENT NEW, PURE),
		- procedures (and INTERFACEs),
		- modules,
		- HPF Intrinsics and Library,
		- Extrinsics (using libraries, exploiting parallelism),
		- choosing distributions,
		- HPF Kernel,
		- HPF-2
