Advanced Fortran Topics

Contents

This online course is targeted at scientists who wish to extend their knowledge of Fortran to cover advanced features of the language.

The agenda is as follows:

Day 1 + 2:

• Best Practices
  • global objects and interfaces
  • abstract interfaces
  • object based programming
• Object-Oriented Programming
  • type extension, polymorphism and inheritance
  • binding of procedures to types and objects
  • generic type-bound procedures
  • abstract types and deferred bindings
  • creation and destruction of objects
  • polymorphic objects and function arguments
  • interacting objects
  • dependency inversion: submodules and plugins
  • parameterized derived types
  • derived-type I/O (tentative/optional)

Day 3

• Interoperability with C
  • mixed language programming patterns
• Recently added language features
• Basics on porting Fortran onto GPU
  • directive based using OpenMP/OpenACC offload
  • do-concurrent GPU-offload
  • others

Day 4

• Coarrays
  • PGAS concepts and coarray basics
  • dynamic entities
  • advanced synchronization
  • collectives, events, teams
  • patterns, performance aspects
  • program termination

(Details of the above agenda are preliminary and minor modifications may still be applied.)

The course combines lectures and hands-on sessions.

Prerequisites

Course participants should have good knowledge of the Fortran 95 standard (such as covered in the "Programming with Fortran" course at LRZ).
Also a basic UNIX/Linux knowledge, e.g. working on the command line, editing makefiles (e.g. using vi or emacs) etc., may be necessary.

Hands-On

We aim at providing a programming environment via either an ssh-accessible cloud-machine or a browser-accessible jupyterlab-instance (or something similar).
Alternatively you may use your own laptop or institute cluster for the hands-on sessions, but we cannot provide support if you experience technical issues in your own environment.

Language

English

Lecturers

Dr. Gilbert Brietzke, Ivan Pribec (both LRZ)
