NASA has teamed up with two technology crowdsourcing organizations in an effort to put some of its supercomputer code into afterburner mode. In an announcement on May 2, the director of NASA’s ...

I learned to program FORTRAN IV in the spring of 1968 while working as an engineering technician in water resources. One of the engineers knew of my interest in computers and asked if I would like to ...

Fortran is an old programming language, but it specializes in advanced calculations and may still be used in physics departments, supercomputer research institutes, government agencies, etc. as of ...

I'm working with a large fortran program that has a number of improvements that I'm trying to backport into a different fortran program. Unfortunately, the one program has no consistent tabbing and ...

Advances in science and engineering still rely on Fortran more than any other language by many important measures. Surprised? You shouldn’t be, although many people who call themselves programmers ...

Back in the dawn of time, which is four decades ago in computer science and which was before technical computing went mainstream with the advent of Unix workstations and their beefy server cousins, ...

The calling interfaces between programming languages are, by their nature, ripe for misunderstandings; different languages can have subtly different ideas of how data should be passed around. Such ...
