Programming/Fortran

Programming Details

Fortran (formerly FORTRAN, derived from Formula Translation) is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.

There is direct support for openMP and openMPI.

Programming example

Non Parallel Example

program variableTesting
implicit none

   ! declaring variables
   integer :: total,average
   complex :: cx
   logical :: done
   character(len=80) :: message ! a string of 80 characters

   !assigning values
   total = 20000
   average = 1666
   done = .true.
   message = "A big Hello from HPC"

   cx = (3.0, 5.0) ! cx = 3.0 + 5.0i

        if (total .ge. average) then
                print *, total, " greater or equal than average"
        else
                print *, total, " less than average"
        endif

   Print *, average
   Print *, cx
   Print *, done
   Print *, message

end program variableTesting

Parallel Example (openMP)

program helloworld
  use omp_lib
  implicit none

!$OMP PARALLEL
!$OMP CRITICAL
  print *,'Hello from thread number',OMP_GET_THREAD_NUM()
!$OMP END CRITICAL
!$OMP END PARALLEL

end program helloworld

Modules Available

The following modules are available:

• module add gcc/4.9.3 (GNU compiler)
• module add intel/compiler/64/2016.2.181 (Intel compiler)

Compilation

The program would be compiled in the following way, optional Intel compiler available too:

[username@login01 ~]$  module add gcc/4.9.3
[username@login01 ~]$  gfortran -o testFortran  testFortran.f03
