This paper presents lessons learned from an experiment to reverse engineer a program. A reverse engineering process was used as part of a project to develop an Ada implementation of a Fortran program and upgrade the existing documentation. To accomplish this, design information was extracted from the Fortran source code and entered into a software development environment. The extracted design i...

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of source-to-source High Performance Fortran assistant Tool (HPFT) in DEC 3000 workstations. For a given sequential program written in Fortran 77, HPFT generates a vectorized, reuse exploited, and/or parallelized version for vector computers. Several new compilation schemes in vectorization, reuse exploitation, and multi-threading are desi...

RRSUMM. Nous prsentons dans ce papier un nouvel outil de transformations de programmes , appell Tsf (Tool Set for Fortran) construit sur la base de l'outil de ringg-niirie de codes Foresys. L'originalitt de notre approche rside dans un langage de scripts de transformations de programme et dans l'aide apportte l'utilisateur dans le choix de ses transformations grce un systtme de raisonnement par...

1. INTRODUCTION Computer programs for numerical solution of partial diierential equations are traditionally coded in the FORTRAN programming language. The computational intensive parts of such programs, either they are based on the nite element (FE) method or some other numerical procedure, consist mainly of various vector and matrix operations. FORTRAN has therefore been regarded as the best c...

In this document we report on the recent development of a C++ interface to the fortran-based evolution program qcdnum. A short description of the interface is given with a few basic examples of its usage.
