The programming language Fortran dates back to 1957 when a team of
IBM engineers released the first Fortran Compiler. During the past
60 years, the language had been revised and updated several times
to incorporate more features to enable writing clean and structured
computer programs. The present version is Fortran 2018. Since the
dawn of the computer era, there had been a constant demand for a
"larger" and "faster" machine. To increase the speed there are
three hurdles. The density of the active components on a VLSI chip
cannot be increased indefinitely and with the increase of the
density heat dissipation becomes a major problem. Finally, the
speed of any signal cannot exceed the velocity of the light.
However, by using several inexpensive processors in parallel
coupled with specialized software and hardware, programmers can
achieve computing speed similar to a supercomputer. This book can
be used to learn the modern Fortran from the beginning and the
technique of developing parallel programs using Fortran. It is for
anyone who wants to learn Fortran. Knowledge beyond high school
mathematics is not required. There is not another book on the
market yet which deals with Fortran 2018 as well as parallel
programming. FEATURES Descriptions of majority of Fortran 2018
