We are in the beginning phases of an effort to assess the viability of Fortran 90 as an emerging technology for high-performance computing. As part of this effort, we wish to survey the Fortran community to determine what Fortran 90-related projects are currently planned or underway. Do you develop compilers, translators or other software tools, or numerical libraries? Do you write Fortran applications? If you have been affected even in a small way by the emergence of Fortran 90 as a new Fortran standard, we would like to hear from you. In exchange for your participation, we offer to share the information we collect, in the hope that it may prove enlightening to you as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Does your organization have any Fortran 90-based projects underway, or are you planning such projects? What types of projects? What are their timeframes for completion? 2) Are you writing or planning to write new codes in Fortran 90? Are you converting or planning to convert existing codes to Fortran 90? In either case, what Fortran 90 constructs have you found particularly useful? Particularly problematic? 3) Whether you have embraced or rejected Fortran 90 or remain undecided, we welcome your comments. If you know of other organizations with Fortran 90 projects underway, we would be grateful for such information as well. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for participating! Please respond to Steve Karlovsky at Internet: karlovsk@anl.gov or Telephone: (708) 972-7205 or reply to me and I will forward your response to Steve. If you wish to receive the results of the survey, or if you are willing to provide additional information, please include your name, mailing address, e-mail address and telephone number.
