Description

Modern Fortran, Video Edition. This course introduces the modern Fortran programming language and its applications in developing fast, efficient, and parallel programs for scientific and engineering computing. As a powerful and flexible language, Fortran is the foundation for high-speed computing in research, science, and industry. Developed on IBM systems since 1956, the language’s inherent parallelization capabilities make it ideal for managing complex projects such as advanced simulations, long-range forecasts, and detailed designs. For example, accurate hurricane forecasting using Fortran has saved thousands of lives, and optimized ship, aircraft, and automobile designs have made travel safer and more economical. In addition, Fortran-based machine learning and deep learning libraries make analyzing big data fast and easy. This course teaches participants how to build efficient parallel programs with 21st-century Fortran. Through hands-on projects such as a tsunami simulator and a stock price analyzer, attendees will be introduced to real-world examples, illustrative images, and practical exercises to gain a fresh understanding of this classic language. If you work in a field where speed, accuracy, and efficiency are important, now is a great time to rediscover Fortran.
