Introduction

The following is a list of companies and organisations that provide Fortran compilers that conform to the Fortran 90, 95 or 2003 standard. Fortran Forum has a more or less standing table on compilers that support features from the 2003 and 2008 standards. The gfortran, g95 and Sun compilers are free for Linux, and gfortran and g95 are free for Windows.

2.6. GNU FORTRAN 95

Workbench: An integral development environment for the C/C++ and Fortran compilers, for compiler control, program execution, debugging, performance analysis, coverage etc. with a Motif-based graphical user interface (GUI). Visual Analyzer: A development and migration tool for C/C++ and Fortran programs. The enclosed Source Analyzer allows the static program structure and the global data relations to be visualized. It contains a class browser, cross references and a calling graph viewer. Parallel Analyser: Consists of an integrated development environment for the OpenMP programming. It contains a manager, a debugger and a proler. Fujitsu also has a Fortran 95 compiler for Linux and a highly optimized, native Fortran 95 compiler, Fortran/VPP and HPF, for its VPP supercomputers.

Gnu Fortran 95

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran http://gcc.gnu.org/fortran/ Gfortran is the name of the GNU Fortran project, developing a free Fortran 95/2003 compiler for GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. The gfortran development eort uses an open development environment in order to attract a larger team of developers and to ensure that gfortran can work on multiple architectures and diverse environments. The GNU Fortran 95 project, or gfortran, is developing a Fortran 95 compiler front end, as well as runtime libraries, for GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection. Gfortran development is a part of the GNU project, aiming to bring free number crunching to all GNU system variants. The gfortran development eort uses an open development environment in order to attract a larger team of developers and to ensure that gfortran can work on multiple architectures and diverse environments. In particular, the project wishes to reach the users of the Fortran 95 language, be it in the scientic community, in education or in a commercial environment. Today, truly free Fortran 90 or Fortran 95 compilers do not exist. We are trying to make one available to the Fortran community.
http://www.g95.org/ G95 is a stable, production Fortran 95 compiler available for multiple cpu architectures and operating systems. Innovations and optimizations continue to be worked on. Parts of the F2003 standard have been implemented in g95.

Automatic

By this is meant automatic parallelisation of the code without source code modication.

Coarray Fortran

Coarray Fortran is a small extension to Fortran 95. It is a simple, explicit notation for data decomposition, such as that often used in message-passing models, expressed in a natural Fortran-like syntax. The syntax is architecture-independent and may be implemented not only on distributed memory machines but also on shared memory machines and even on clustered machines. This is a proposal for Fortran 2008. ftp://ftp.nag.co.uk/sc22wg5/N1601-N1650/N1642.pdf http://j3-fortran.org/doc/meeting/173/05-208.txt Older references can be found at http://www.co-array.org/ and http://lacsi.rice.edu/software/caf/ There is also a wikipedia entry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-array_Fortran

7.4. HPF

The High Performance Fortran Forum (HPFF), a coalition of industry, academic and laboratory representatives, works to dene a set of extensions to Fortran 90 known collectively as High Performance Fortran (HPF). HPF extensions provide access to high-performance architecture features while maintaining portability across platforms. Harvey Richardson has provided a historical perspective on HPF. Visit http://www.zeenty.com/HPF/HPF-intro.pdf Requires source code modication.

Requirements

Requires the installation of the MPI library (some compiler companies oer a bundle of compiler and MPI library) and source code modication.

OPENMP

The OpenMP Application Program Interface (API) supports multi-platform sharedmemory parallel programming in C/C++ and Fortran on all architectures, including Unix platforms and Windows NT platforms. Jointly dened by a group of major computer hardware and software vendors, OpenMP is a portable, scalable model that gives shared-memory parallel programmers a simple and exible interface for developing parallel applications for platforms ranging from the desktop to the supercomputer. http://www.openmp.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP

Requires source code modication.

Posix Threads

Posix Threads is a library specication for multithreading, proposed as a standard by a broadly based committee of vendors, implementors, and users. http://www.llnl.gov/computing/tutorials/pthreads/ Requires the installation of a threading library. Many operating systems come with a threading library pre-installed. Also requires source code modication. http://www.llnl.gov/computing/tutorials/pthreads/
