The original HPF language specification was produced by the High Performance Fortran Forum, a broad consortium of industry and academia, which met regularly throughout 1992 and early 1993.  HPF compilers are now available on most commonly-used computing systems, and users are beginning to gain first hand experience with this language.  The Forum has continued to meet in order to address advanced topics.
