FORTRAN - Introduction

Sun, Dec 14, 2014 For our second language we’ll look at FORTRAN, the most popular language run on MTS by far. It has the largest range of environments, libraries and tooling of any language available on MTS.

FORTRAN - Language features

Sun, Dec 21, 2014 In this post I’ll look at the FORTRAN 66 language as available on MTS in more detail.

FORTRAN - Calculating emirps

Sun, Dec 28, 2014 Let’s look at an example of a complete program in FORTRAN and compare running it using the different compilers available on MTS.

The great FORTRAN-LISP shootout

Sun, May 10, 2015 One of the reasons LISP did not become more popular for scientific computing was the perception that it was slower than FORTRAN. In this post I will compare the performance of the LISP and FORTRAN implementations on MTS using a simple problem.

RATFOR & FLECS - Introduction

Sun, Jan 24, 2016 In this series of posts, we’ll look at two FORTRAN preprocessors available on MTS: RATFOR and FLECS.

RATFOR & FLECS - Language Features

Sun, Oct 30, 2016 Today let’s continue our exploration of RATFOR and FLECS by comparing the language features they add to vanilla FORTRAN.

RATFOR & FLECS - Emirp primes

Sun, Jan 15, 2017 For the final post in this series, let’s write a real program in RATFOR and FLECS and see how they compare with the original FORTRAN.
