Numerical Computing with Modern Fortran
Numerical Computing with Modern Fortran
The Fortran language standard has undergone several significant upgrades in recent years. This book illustrates many of these improvements through practical solutions to a number of scientific and engineering problems. The many useful features of this book include techniques for modernising algorithms written in Fortran; examples of Fortran interoperating with C or C++ programs, plus using the IEEE floating-point standard for efficiency; and illustrations of parallel Fortran programming using coarrays, MPI and OpenMP. In addition, the codes discussed in the book are available to download via a supplementary website. The book is designed for Fortran programmers seeking to update their skills, and C and C++ programmers who want to understand key software aspects of modern Fortran. It is also suitable for an upper-level undergraduate or early graduate course on advanced numerical scientific computing.
