Defining a Shape		Declaring a Template

shape [100][50]s;               !hpf$ template t(50,100)

Declaring a parallel variable   Aligning an array with a template
       with a shape attribute

float:s a;			real a(50,100)
       				!hpf$ align with t:: a;

Using parallel variable in	Using array syntax in computation
   computation

a = 0.;				a = 0;
[2:10:3][.]a = 1.;		a(3:11:3,:) = 1.

Where construct for context	Where construct for conditionals

where ( a<0 ) a = 0;		where ( a<0 ) a = 0
