2. It’s time to (re)discover Fortran
If you didn’t already know,
Fortran is an amazingly powerful
and flexible programming
language that is natively parallel,
making it uniquely suited for
efficiently handling problems like
complex simulations, long-range
predictions, and ultra-precise
designs. The MareNostrum 4 Supercomputer in Barcelona
uses parallelism for many scientific applications.
3. Fortran is always getting better
While Fortran is the oldest high-
level programming language, it is
constantly improving.
It's also the leading language used
in high performance (HPC) and
parallel programming and Fortran
2018 will include additional
parallel features and improve
interoperability with C.
HPC requires communication
between CPUs and has to be
distributed through a network.
4. See what Fortran can do
Modern Fortran teaches you how to
develop fast, efficient parallel
applications with Fortran.
You’ll work on building a tsunami
simulator using parallel concepts
that can be applied to your own
projects—including powerful
applications such as machine
learning, HPC, data analysis, and
forecasting.
5. Learn from a Fortran expert
The author is a meteorologist and
oceanographer. A Fortran
programmer since 2006, he has
worked with teams from United
States Navy and NASA on developing
and improving Earth system
prediction models, has authored two
general-purpose Fortran libraries,
and is currently working on a startup
porting Fortran to the cloud for
weather and ocean prediction.
