Modern Fortran Explained: Incorporating Fortran 2023 de Michael Metcalf

Modern Fortran Explained: Incorporating Fortran 2023

Autor Michael Metcalf, John Reid, Malcolm Cohen, Reinhold Bader
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 dec 2023

Recomandăm această a șasea ediție a Modern Fortran Explained ca resursă fundamentală pentru cercetătorii și inginerii care depind de acuratețea calculului numeric de înaltă performanță. Într-un peisaj tehnologic în continuă schimbare, Fortran rămâne coloana vertebrală a simulărilor științifice complexe, iar această lucrare servește drept ghid de autoritate pentru implementarea celor mai noi standarde internaționale. Relevanța sa pentru mediul academic și centrele de supercalcul este critică, oferind claritatea necesară pentru a trece de la codul moștenit la structuri moderne, eficiente.

Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorii — printre care se numără Michael Metcalf și John Reid, experți care au modelat activ standardul Fortran 2023 — au structurat materialul. Primele 20 de capitole oferă o descriere uniformă a Fortran 2018, în timp ce ultimele două capitole sunt dedicate exclusiv noutăților din 2023, facilitând o distincție clară între funcționalitățile stabilite și noile adiții, cum ar fi programarea generică. Această ediție extinde viziunea autorului prezentă și în Numerical Recipes in Fortran 90: Volume 2, Volume 2 of Fortran Numerical Recipes, evoluând de la rețete de calcul la o descriere completă a limbajului ca sistem orientat pe obiecte.

Ca alternativă la The Fortran 2003 Handbook sau Guide to Fortran 2003 Programming pentru cursurile de programare științifică, volumul de față aduce avantajul major al actualizării la zi. În timp ce manualele mai vechi se opresc la interoperabilitatea cu C, Modern Fortran Explained detaliază utilizarea modernă a pointerilor constrânși și optimizarea multi-dimensională, elemente esențiale pentru obținerea performanței maxime pe arhitecturi hardware contemporane.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este esențială pentru programatorii din domeniul științific și inginerie care doresc să stăpânească standardul Fortran 2023. Cititorul câștigă o înțelegere profundă a programării generice și a tehnicilor de optimizare pentru calcul paralel. Este resursa definitivă pentru modernizarea codului vechi și pentru scrierea de aplicații noi, robuste, într-un limbaj care rămâne lider în procesarea numerică de mare viteză.

Despre autor

Michael Metcalf, John Reid, Malcolm Cohen și Reinhold Bader sunt autorități recunoscute la nivel mondial în dezvoltarea limbajului Fortran. Trei dintre aceștia au făcut parte din comitetele de standardizare care au definit specificațiile Fortran 2023, oferind astfel o perspectivă „din interior” asupra evoluției limbajului. Michael Metcalf are o carieră prodigioasă, fiind cunoscut și pentru contribuțiile sale la Numerical Recipes in Fortran 90: Volume 2, Volume 2 of Fortran Numerical Recipes, o lucrare de referință care a definit standardele de calcul numeric timp de decenii.

Descriere

Fortran remains one of the principal programming languages used in high-performance scientific, numerical, and engineering computing. A series of significant revisions to the standard versions of the language have progressively enhanced its capabilities, and the current standard - Fortran 2023 - brings with it further additions and improvements. The language as defined by its most recent standards, with their introduction of object-oriented programming and of coarrays, is often referred to generically as 'Modern Fortran', and this term is increasingly used in the literature.Thus, we see that Fortran's particular advantages as a high-end numerical language, especially where arrays are the main form of data object and/or where complex arithmetic is involved, are still to the fore. It is able to attain the highest achievable optimization, mainly because multi-dimensional arrays are 'natural' objects and because its pointers are highly constrained. There is every sign that Modern Fortran will continue to be used to tackle major scientific computing problems in the next decade and beyond and will long remain a living tribute to its early pioneers. This third edition of Modern Fortran Explained expands on the second. The material contained in the four final chapters of the second edition have been merged into the main text, thereby offering, in 20 chapters, a comprehensive and uniform description of Fortran 2018. The additional features now brought by the 2023 standard, which are mostly relatively minor in nature, are described in two final chapters, the first on generic programming and the second on the other features. This structure enables the reader to distinguish clearly between what is old and what is new.This new edition, written by experts in the field, three of whom have actively contributed to Fortran 2023, is thus a complete and authoritative description of Fortran in its latest form, with the intention that it remain the main reference work in the field.

Recenzii

Modern Fortran Explained does an admirable job of detailing the cutting edge developments surrounding this legendary program language, over the last 20 years. An appreciated feature of the text is the beautifully woven narrative which presents Fortran from its foundations to its most complex structures.

Notă biografică

After studying physics at University College London and a short spell at ICT, Michael Metcalf spent 32 years working on evaluation of data from large high-energy physics experiments at CERN, Geneva. He became a group leader and senior scientist. During this time, he became involved in Fortran standardization and was a member of the relevant committees for seven years. He wrote a number of books on the topic and lectured extensively. Now he is retired and resides in Berlin.After reading mathematics at Oxford University, John Reid lectured at Sussex University for five years and joined the numerical analysis group at Harwell, which moved to the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in 1990. He wrote many Fortran programs for the group which appeared in the HSL Library. His research has mainly been on direct methods for sparse matrices. He has participated in Fortran standardization since 1983 and was convener of the ISO committee from 2000 to 2017. Now he is an Honorary Scientist at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and he continues to participate in Fortran standardization.After studying Computer Science and Mathematics at the Australian National University, Malcolm Cohen worked as a programmer in the public sector for three years. He joined the Numerical Algorithms Group in 1984 to work on Fortran Software Tools. Later, he took a year off in Iceland in 1987 to learn Icelandic, C, and graphics programming, and rejoined the NAG in 1988. He has been a member of the ISO/IEC Working Group on Fortran since 1988 and wrote the world's first Fortran 90 compiler, which released in September 1991. He has been the Editor of the ISO/IEC Fortran standard since 2005, responsible for Fortran 2008, Fortran 2018, and Fortran 2023. He was seconded to NAG's Tokyo office in 2006, and currently resides in Japan.After studying physics at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Reinhold Bader completed a PhD in solid state physics in 1998. He became a scientific staff member at LRZ in 1999 and group leader of the HPC systems and services in 2012. He developed basic and advanced course material for Fortran and other HPC topics since 2000 and has been involved with Fortran standardization in the context of WG5 since 2008. He is now officially a DIN representative (through LRZ) since 2013.
