USDNumerical Recipes in Fortran 90 starts with a detailed introduction to the Fortran 90 language and then presents the basic concepts of parallel programming. All 350+ routines from the second edition of Numerical Recipes are presented in Fortran 90. Many are completely reworked algorithmically so as to be 'parallel-ready' and to utilise Fortran 90's advanced language features. Numerical Recipes in Fortran 90 emphasises general principles, but throughout there are also numerous hints and tips. This volume is intended for use with the original Numerical Recipes in Fortran, 2nd Edition (now called Numerical Recipes in Fortran 77) and does not discuss how the individual programs are used, or how the mathematical methods are used. An excellent guide for Fortran programmers interested in moving to Fortran 90, or C/C++ programmers interested in parallel programming.
- New text with detailed F 90 tutorial and introduction to parallel programming
- All routines from the second edition of Numerical Recipes are presented in Fortran 90, many reworked to be 'parallel-ready'
Reviews & endorsements
"...this present volume will contribute decisively to a significant breakthrough, as it provides models not only of the numerical algorithms for which previous editions are already famed, but also of an excellent Fortran 90 style..." From the Foreword by Michael Metcalf, one of Fortran 90's original designers and author of FORTRAN 90 Explained.
"As with previous volumes in this series, this book is a classic and is essential reading for anyone concerned with the future of numerical calculation. It is beautifully produced, inexpensive for its content, and a must for any serious worker or student." A. D. Booth, Computing Reviews
"...very useful for graduate and postgraduate courses and also for all specialists who are interested in parallel scientific computing." Mikhail P. Levin, IEEE Concurrency
