Modern Fortran
Using Fortran, early and accurate forecasts for hurricanes and other major storms have saved thousands of lives. Better designs for ships, planes, and automobiles have made travel safer, more efficient, and less expensive than ever before. Using Fortran, low-level machine learning and deep learning libraries provide incredibly easy, fast, and insightful analysis of massive data. Fortran is an ...
1 Introducing Fortran
This is a book about Fortran, one of the first high-level programming languages in history.It will teach you the language by guiding you step-by-step through the development of a fully-featured, parallel physics simulation app. Notice the emphasis on parallel. I will introduce the concept of parallel programming early on, and start applying it from first principles.
Exploring Modern Fortran Basics
Fortran has come a long way since IBM first developed it in 1956. Flexible, powerful, and high performing, this general purpose programming language remains the dominant one in the field of scientific and engineering applications. Continuously improving, the latest version of Fortran includes new parallel features and improved interoperability with C. As more and more data is generated every ...
Welcome
I place emphasis on modern because Fortran has evolved substantially since 1957 when it appeared as the first high-level programming language in history. Despite the explosive growth and mobile- and web-oriented technologies in the last two decades, Fortran remains the only standardized language with a native parallel programming model - the ...
