Steve Lionel – Modern Fortran: Features for High-Performance Computing

Abstract:

Fortran may be more than sixty years old, but it has grown and changed a lot over that time. Steve Lionel, former Fortran compiler developer and current head of the ISO Fortran standards committee (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5) will give an overview of features added to the Fortran language since FORTRAN-77, with an emphasis on those that promote programmer productivity and high-performance computing. There will be time available for questions.
