Beyond Fortran ... : What To Do and Where To Go From Here ..

Uploaded by

Kamineni Jagath

This document discusses options for programmers beyond Fortran, including other Fortran compilers, C/C++, parallel computing tools like OpenMP and MPI, mathematical computing languages and packages, and interpreted languages. It provides overviews of C/C++, parallel computing, popular mathematical packages like MATLAB and free/open-source alternatives, and interpreted languages Python and R. The document also briefly mentions other tools and packages for fields like atmospheric and oceanic science and visualization tools. It proposes potential future tutorial topics like Fortran with OpenMP, scientific Python, combining Python and Fortran, and Fortran with MPI.

Overview
Other Fortran Compilers
C, C++
Parallel Computing
Open MP
MPI
Mathematical Computing Languages/Packages
Free
Paid
Interpreted Languages
Other Fortran Compilers
Intel
NAG
Cray
PGI etc.,
Have non-standard features and can take advantage
of certain features in the system architecture. They
have more features
Extremely good for Parallel Programming and
interfacing them with other languages like C, C++,
(within the same brand)
C, C++
Superior Compiled programming languages
Does not have array slicing features
Has almost all features of Fortran and more features
Equally good to work with.
Which to choose? Personal preference and
application based choice.
Parallel Computing
All programs run only in one processor/core
This paradigm of programming Makes use of
multiple cores simultaneously by splitting the work
load between the cores.
OpenMP (Open Specifications for Multi-Processing)
is used for computers having shared memory
MPI (Message Passing Interface) is used for
computers having shared / distributed memory
These are directives and functions that work on top
of a compiled language like C, C++, Fortran
Mathematical Packages
Paid
Matlab, Mathematica, Maple etc.,
Very very good and have a lot of extensive features
Interpreted language based packages
Free
Scilab, Octave, Freemat etc.,
Newly emerging packages, completely free, some are
software clones
They are also interpreted language based packages
Interpreted Languages ...
There are many, I am concentrating on only two of
them
Python and R are very successful.
Python:
Easy to learn
Emerging rapidly in scientific computations
Can integrate several other programming files into it
Nice graphics
R:
Very powerful tool for statistics
Other Packages and Tools ...
Other packages (For Atmospheric and Oceanic
Science Students/Researchers, but not restricted to
them alone):
NCL
Ferret
Grads
UVCDAT
Visualization tools:
Visit
Paraview
Possible Upcoming tutorials Proposal
only
Advanced Fortran tutorials (Next Series)
Fortran + OpenMP
Scientific Python
Python + Fortran for scientific applications
Fortran + MPI
Thank You!
