Modern Fortran. Building efficient parallel applications

Artikelnummer 10125942

For over 60 years Fortran has been powering mission-critical scientific applications, and it isn’t slowing down yet! Rock-solid reliability and new support for parallel programming make Fortran an essential language for next-generation high-performance computing. Simply put, the future is in parallel, and Fortran is already there. Modern Fortran teaches you to develop fast, efficient parallel applications using twenty-first-century Fortran. In this guide, you’ll dive into Fortran by creating fun apps, including a tsunami simulator and a stock price analyzer. Filled with real-world use cases, insightful illustrations, and hands-on exercises, Modern Fortran helps you see this classic language in a whole new light. What’s Inside Fortran’s place in the modern world Working with variables, arrays, and functions Module development Parallelism with coarrays, teams, and events Interoperating Fortran with C For developers and computational scientists. No experience with Fortran required. Milan Curcic is a meteorologist, oceanographer, and author of several general-purpose Fortran libraries and applications.
