  • The UCSD P-System STATUT ORIL Y EX E:M PT
    DOCfi!D(ov~ by NSA on 12-01-2011, Transparency Case# 5335]UNCLASSIFIED The UCSD p-System STATUT ORIL Y EX E:M PT This paper discusses the UCSD p-System, an operating system for small computers developed at the University of California at San Diego. The discussion includes the overall system, file managing, editing, and programming in Pascal on the system. INTRODUCTION The UCSD p-System was developed at the University of California at San Diego to support Pascal programming on microcomputers. Similar to MS-DOS, the p-System is an operating system for small computers but is, in many ways, very different. The p-System is written in Pascal and now supports not only Pascal, but also FORTRAN, COBOL, BASIC, and Modula-2. The concept was to have an operating system that, once it was implemented on a machine, allowed any program written under that operating system to be truly transportable from computer to computer. That is to say, the p-System compiler would not actually translate the program into a language that was specific for, say, an 8088 chip on the IBM-PC, but rather would translate it into a "pseudo" language that, when used with an operating system designed for the PC, would run correctly. Similarly, if the operating system were implemented on a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) computer, this same pseudo code would still work properly with no modifications. The particular version of UCSD p-System tested was written for the IBM-PC and requires two single-sided double-density disk drives and at least 128K of memory.

  • A FORTRAN 77 Program for a Nonparametric Item Response Model: the Mokken Scale Analysis
    BehaviorResearch Methods, Instruments, & Computers 1988, 20 (5), 471-480 A FORTRAN 77 program for a nonparametric item response model: The Mokken scale analysis JOHANNES KINGMA University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah and TERRY TAERUM University ofAlberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada A nonparametric item response theory model-the Mokken scale analysis (a stochastic elabo­ ration of the deterministic Guttman scale}-and a computer program that performs this analysis are described. Three procedures of scaling are distinguished: a search procedure, an evaluation of the whole set of items, and an extension of an existing scale. All procedures provide a coeffi­ cient of scalability for all items that meet the criteria of the Mokken model and an item coeffi­ cient of scalability for every item. Four different types of reliability coefficient are computed both for the entire set of items and for the scalable items. A test of robustness of the found scale can be performed to analyze whether the scale is invariant across different subgroups or samples. This robustness test serves as a goodness offit test for the established scale. The program is writ­ ten in FORTRAN 77. Two versions are available, an SPSS-X procedure program (which can be used with the SPSS-X mainframe package) and a stand-alone program suitable for both main­ frame and microcomputers. The Mokken scale model is a stochastic elaboration of which both mainframe and MS-DOS versions are avail­ the well-known deterministic Guttman scale (Mokken, able.

  • A Generic Linked List Implementation in Fortran 95∗
    A Generic Linked List Implementation in Fortran 95∗ JASON R. BLEVINS† Department of Economics, Duke University May 18, 2009 Abstract. This paper develops a standard conforming generic linked list in Fortran 95 which is capable of storing data of an any type. The list is implemented using the transfer intrinsic function, and although the interface is generic, it remains relatively simple and minimizes the potential for error. Although linked lists are the focus of this paper, the generic programming techniques used are very general and broadly-applicable to other data structures and procedures implemented in Fortran 95 that need to be used with data of an unknown type. Keywords: Fortran 95, generic programming, data structures, scientific computing. 1. INTRODUCTION A linked list, or more specifically a singly-linked list, is a list consisting of a series of individual node elements where each node contains a data member and a pointer that points to the next node in the list. This paper describes a generic linked list implementation in standard Fortran 95 which is able to store arbitrary data, and in particular, pointers to arbitrary data types. While linked lists are the focus of this paper, the underlying idea can be easily used to create more general generic data structures and procedures in Fortran 95. The generic_list module is developed in detail below, followed by an example control program which illustrates the list interface, showing how to use Fortran’s transfer intrinsic function to store and retrieve pointers to derived type data variables. This module has several advantages: it is written in standard Fortran 95 to ensure portability, it is self-contained and does not require the use of a preprocessor or include statements, and the transfer function only needs to be called once by the user, resulting in clean code and minimizing the potential for errors.

I/O Generally Most descriptions of I/O are only half--truths Those work most of the time – until they blow up Most modern language standards are like that Fortran is rather better, but there are downsides Complexity and restrictions being two of them • Fortran is much easier to use than it seems • This is about what you can rely on in practice We will start with the basic principles Introduction to Modern Fortran – p. 2/?? Some ‘Recent’ History Fortran I/O (1950s) predates even mainframes OPEN and filenames was a CC† of c. 1975 Unix/C spread through CS depts 1975–1985 ISO C’s I/O model was a CC† of 1985–1988 Modern languages use the C/POSIX I/O model Even Microsoft systems are like Unix here • The I/O models have little in common † CC = committee compromise Introduction to Modern Fortran – p. 3/?? Important Warning It is often better than C/C++ and often worse But it is very different at all levels • It is critical not to think in C--like terms Trivial C/C++ tasks may be infeasible in Fortran As always, use the simplest code that works Few people have much trouble if they do that • Ask for help with any problems here Introduction to Modern Fortran – p. 4/?? Fortran’s Sequential I/O Model A Unix file is a sequence of characters (bytes) A Fortran file is a sequence of records (lines) For simple, text use, these are almost equivalent In both Fortran and C/Unix: • Keep text records short (say, < 250 chars) • Use only printing characters and space • Terminate all lines with a plain newline • Trailing spaces can appear and disappear Introduction to Modern Fortran – p.
