商品描述
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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
程式語言 Fortran 可追溯至 1957 年，當時一組 IBM 工程師發布了第一個 Fortran 編譯器。在過去的 60 年中，這種語言經過多次修訂和更新，以納入更多功能，使得編寫乾淨且結構化的電腦程式成為可能。目前的版本是 Fortran 2018。自電腦時代開始以來，對於「更大」和「更快」的機器的需求一直存在。為了提高速度，有三個障礙。VLSI 晶片上活躍元件的密度無法無限增加，隨著密度的增加，散熱成為一個主要問題。最後，任何信號的速度都無法超過光速。然而，通過使用幾個廉價的處理器並行運行，結合專門的軟體和硬體，程式設計師可以實現類似超級電腦的計算速度。
本書可用於從頭學習現代 Fortran 及使用 Fortran 開發平行程式的技術。適合任何想學習 Fortran 的人。無需超出高中數學的知識。目前市場上尚無其他書籍能如本書般全面涵蓋 Fortran 2018 及平行程式設計。

作者簡介
Dr Subrata Ray is a retired Senior Professor of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata. Spanning over a period of 40 years he taught computer software in Universities, Research Institutes, Colleges and Professional Bodies of the country. As an in-charge of computer centres he had built several computer centres almost from the scratch in universities and research institutes. Though his field of specialization is scientific computing, yet he participated in developing many Systems and Commercial Software.
He obtained M.Sc, Post M.Sc (Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics) and PhD from the Calcutta University and served renowned institutes like Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, Regional Computer Centre, Calcutta, University of Burdwan and Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science.
He is actively associated with the voluntary blood donation movement of the country and is an active member of the Association of Voluntary Blood Donors, West Bengal. He offers his voluntary services to the Eye Care & Research Centre and the National Council of Education, Bengal.
He is an amateur photographer.
He is married to Sanghamitra and they have a daughter Sumitra. He lives in Kolkata with his brother Debabrata and sister Uma.
