HPF
(HPF) A data parallel language extension to
Fortran 90 which provides a portable programming interface
for a wide variety of target platforms. 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.

HPPI
(HIPPI, previously HPPI) A

using circuit-switching technology at a speed of 800 Mbits/s
or 1.6 Gbits/s (simplex or full-duplex). HIPPI is often used
for short distances (up to 10km depending on cable type) to
connect a supercomputer to routers, frame buffers,
mass-storage peripherals and other computers.
HIPPI was developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory and is
now ANSI standard X3T9/88-127. Standards for
interconnecting with ATM, SONet, and fibre channel are

high performance routing
(foldoc) | High Performance Routing
HPR
(HPR) Routing designed to work in conjunction
with APPN Intermediate Session Routing (ISR) network
nodes. HPR nodes perform many of the same functions as ISR
nodes. For example, HPR nodes use the same method of
calculating routes based on the Topology Routing Service
database and class of service tables. HPR nodes also
supports such APPN features as connection networks and support
for parallel transmission groups (TGs). In the HPR
architecture, both partner nodes must support HPR for RTP
connections to take place between the nodes. If one node
supports HPR and the partner node does not, then the link will
support ISR functionality only.

high performance serial bus
(foldoc) | High Performance Serial Bus
1394
FireWire
IEEE 1394
I-Link
(Or "IEEE 1394") A 1995 Macintosh/{IBM
PC} serial bus interface standard offering isochronous
real-time data transfer.
1394 can transfer data between a computer and its peripherals at
100, 200, or 400 Mbps, with a planed increase to 2 Gbps.
Cable length is limited to 4.5 m but up to 16 cables can be
daisy-chained yielding a total length of 72 m.
It can daisy-chain together up to 63 peripherals in a tree-like
structure (as opposed to SCSI's linear structure). It allows
peer-to-peer communication, e.g. between a scanner and a
printer, without using system memory or the CPU. It is
designed to support plug-and-play and hot swapping.
Its six-wire cable is not only more convenient than SCSI cables
but can supply up to 60 watts of power, allowing low-consumption
devices to operate without a separate power cord.
Some expensive camcorders included this bus from 1995. It is
expected to be used to carry SCSI, with possible application to
home automation using repeaters.
Sony calls it I-Link, most people call it "FireWire".

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
(bouvier) | SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE, remedies. The actual accomplishment of a contract by
the party bound to fulfill it.
2. Many contracts are entered into by parties to fulfill certain
things, and then the contracting parties neglect or refuse to fulfill their
engagements. In such cases the party grieved has generally a remedy at law,
and he may recover damages for the breach of the contract; but, in many
cases, the recovery of damages is an incompetent remedy, and the party seeks
to recover a specific performance of the agreement.
3. It is a general rule, that courts of equity will entertain
jurisdiction for a specific performance of agreements, whenever courts of
law can give but an inadequate remedy; and it is immaterial whether the
subject relate to real or personal estate. 1 Madd. Ch. Pr. 295; 2 Story on
Eq. Sec. 717; 1 Sim, & Stu. 607; 1 P. Wms. 570; 1 Sch. & Lef. 553; 1 Vern.
159.
4. But the rule is confined to cases where courts of law cannot give an
adequate remedy. 2 Story on Eq. Sec. 718; Eden on Inj. ch. 3, p. 27. Vide,
generally, 2 Story on Eq. ch. 18, Sec. 712 to 792; 1 Supp. to Ves. jr. 96,
