April 2024 OLCF User Conference Call: Fortran 2023 and Beyond

The OLCF hosts monthly User Conference Calls. These calls are your opportunity to speak with center personnel to get the latest updates, express any concerns you may have, etc. No registration is required for this event. An email with an invite to the event will be sent to OLCF users approximately one week beforehand.

Monthly Topic: An Overview of The Fortran Standard: Fortran 2023 and Beyond

Speaker: Reuben Budiardja (OLCF)

Abstract:

While it has been around for many decades, Fortran is still the preeminent language suitable for scientific and numerical computation, making up a large share of applications that are running in supercomputing facilities such as OLCF. The latest Fortran standard, informally known as Fortran 2023, was just recently released. In this talk, I will give an overview of the Fortran standardization process, followed by a high-level summary of the new features in Fortran 2023. I will also discuss future improvements being considered to make Fortran an even more productive language in the era of heterogeneous HPC.
