Modern Fortran: Building Efficient Parallel Applications (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781617295287)

Modern Fortran is natively parallel, so it's uniquely suited for efficiently handling problems like complex simulations, long-range predictions, and ultra-precise designs. If you're working on tasks where speed, accuracy, and efficiency matter, it's time to discover--or rediscover-- Fortran.

Modern Fortran: Building efficient parallel applications teaches you how to develop fast, efficient parallel applications with Fortran, an amazingly powerful and flexible programming language that forms the foundation of high performance computing for research, science and industry.

Key Features

- Parallel programming from the ground up

- Working with variables and types

- Module development in Fortran

- Fortran with C, C++, and Python

- Object-oriented and functional programming styles

Written for developers, engineers, and computational scientists. No prior experience with Fortran in needed.

About the technology

Fortran is a general-purpose programming language that is dominant in engineering and scientific computing applications. It's the leading language used in high performance (HPC) and parallel programming.

Milan Curcic 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. Milan has authored two general-purpose Fortran libraries and is currently working on a startup porting Fortran to the cloud for weather and ocean prediction.
