  • Introduction to Programming in Fortran 77 for Students of Science and Engineering
    Introduction to programming in Fortran 77 for students of Science and Engineering Roman GrÄoger University of Pennsylvania, Department of Materials Science and Engineering 3231 Walnut Street, O±ce #215, Philadelphia, PA 19104 Revision 1.2 (September 27, 2004) 1 Introduction Fortran (FORmula TRANslation) is a programming language designed speci¯cally for scientists and engineers. For the past 30 years Fortran has been used for such projects as the design of bridges and aeroplane structures, it is used for factory automation control, for storm drainage design, analysis of scienti¯c data and so on. Throughout the life of this language, groups of users have written libraries of useful standard Fortran programs. These programs can be borrowed and used by other people who wish to take advantage of the expertise and experience of the authors, in a similar way in which a book is borrowed from a library. Fortran belongs to a class of higher-level programming languages in which the programs are not written directly in the machine code but instead in an arti¯cal, human-readable language. This source code consists of algorithms built using a set of standard constructions, each consisting of a series of commands which de¯ne the elementary operations with your data. In other words, any algorithm is a cookbook which speci¯es input ingredients, operations with them and with other data and ¯nally returns one or more results, depending on the function of this algorithm. Any source code has to be compiled in order to obtain an executable code which can be run on your computer.

  • 7. Functions in PHP – II
    7. Functions in PHP – II Scope of variables in Function Scope of variable is the part of PHP script where the variable can be accessed or used. PHP supports three different scopes for a variable. These scopes are 1. Local 2. Global 3. Static A variable declared within the function has local scope. That means this variable is only used within the function body. This variable is not used outside the function. To demonstrate the concept, let us take an example. // local variable scope function localscope() { $var = 5; //local scope echo '<br> The value of $var inside the function is: '. $var; } localscope(); // call the function // using $var outside the function will generate an error echo '<br> The value of $var inside the function is: '. $var; The output will be: The value of $var inside the function is: 5 ( ! ) Notice: Undefined variable: var in H:\wamp\www\PathshalaWAD\function\function localscope demo.php on line 12 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0003 240416 {main}( ) ..\function localscope demo.php:0 The value of $var inside the function is: Page 1 of 7 If a variable is defined outside of the function, then the variable scope is global. By default, a global scope variable is only available to code that runs at global level. That means, it is not available inside a function. Following example demonstrate it. <?php //variable scope is global $globalscope = 20; // local variable scope function localscope() { echo '<br> The value of global scope variable is :'.$globalscope; } localscope(); // call the function // using $var outside the function will generate an error echo '<br> The value of $globalscope outside the function is: '.

Introduction to Fortran 90 Language Features 21.0 Introduction Fortran 90 is in many respects a backwards-compatible modernization of the long-used (and much abused) Fortran 77 language, but it is also, in other respects, a new language for parallel programming on present and future multiprocessor machines. These twin design goals of the language sometimes add confusion to the process of becoming fluent in Fortran 90 programming. In a certain trivial sense, Fortran 90 is strictly backwards-compatible with Fortran 77. That is, any Fortran 90 compiler is supposed to be able to compile any legacy Fortran 77 code without error. The reason for terming this compatibility trivial, however, is that you have to tell the compiler (usually via a source file name ending in “.f”or“.for”) that it is dealing with a Fortran 77 file. If you instead try to pass off Fortran 77 code as native Fortran 90 (e.g., by naming the source file something ending in “.f90”) it will not always work correctly! It is best, therefore, to approach Fortran 90 as a new computer language, albeit one with a lot in common with Fortran 77.

  • Scope in Fortran 90
    Scope in Fortran 90 The scope of objects (variables, named constants, subprograms) within a program is the portion of the program in which the object is visible (can be use and, if it is a variable, modified). It is important to understand the scope of objects not only so that we know where to define an object we wish to use, but also what portion of a program unit is effected when, for example, a variable is changed, and, what errors might occur when using identifiers declared in other program sections. Objects declared in a program unit (a main program section, module, or external subprogram) are visible throughout that program unit, including any internal subprograms it hosts. Such objects are said to be global. Objects are not visible between program units. This is illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1: The figure shows three program units. Main program unit Main is a host to the internal function F1. The module program unit Mod is a host to internal function F2. The external subroutine Sub hosts internal function F3. Objects declared inside a program unit are global; they are visible anywhere in the program unit including in any internal subprograms that it hosts. Objects in one program unit are not visible in another program unit, for example variable X and function F3 are not visible to the module program unit Mod. Objects in the module Mod can be imported to the main program section via the USE statement, see later in this section. Data declared in an internal subprogram is only visible to that subprogram; i.e.

  • Chapter 5. Using Tcl/Tk
    The Almagest 5-1 Chapter 5. Using Tcl/Tk Authors: Edward A. Lee Other Contributors: Brian L. Evans Wei-Jen Huang Alan Kamas Kennard White 5.1 Introduction Tcl is an interpreted “tool command language” designed by John Ousterhout while at UC Berkeley. Tk is an associated X window toolkit. Both have been integrated into Ptolemy. Parts of the graphical user interface and all of the textual interpreter ptcl are designed using them. Several of the stars in the standard star library also use Tcl/Tk. This chapter explains how to use the most basic of these stars, TclScript, as well how to design such stars from scratch. It is possible to define very sophisticated, totally customized user interfaces using this mechanism. In this chapter, we assume the reader is familiar with the Tcl language. Documentation is provided along with the Ptolemy distribution in the $PTOLEMY/tcltk/itcl/man direc- tory in Unix man page format. HTML format documentation is available from the other.src tar file in $PTOLEMY/src/tcltk. Up-to-date documentation and software releases are available by on the SunScript web page at http://www.sunscript.com. There is also a newsgroup called comp.lang.tcl. This news group accumulates a list of frequently asked questions about Tcl which is available http://www.teraform.com/%7Elvirden/tcl-faq/. The principal use of Tcl/Tk in Ptolemy is to customize the user interface. Stars can be created that interact with the user in specialized ways, by creating customized displays or by soliciting graphical inputs. 5.2 Writing Tcl/Tk scripts for the TclScript star Several of the domains in Ptolemy have a star called TclScript.

  • IEEE Standard 754 for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic
    Work in Progress: Lecture Notes on the Status of IEEE 754 October 1, 1997 3:36 am Lecture Notes on the Status of IEEE Standard 754 for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic Prof. W. Kahan Elect. Eng. & Computer Science University of California Berkeley CA 94720-1776 Introduction: Twenty years ago anarchy threatened floating-point arithmetic. Over a dozen commercially significant arithmetics boasted diverse wordsizes, precisions, rounding procedures and over/underflow behaviors, and more were in the works. “Portable” software intended to reconcile that numerical diversity had become unbearably costly to develop. Thirteen years ago, when IEEE 754 became official, major microprocessor manufacturers had already adopted it despite the challenge it posed to implementors. With unprecedented altruism, hardware designers had risen to its challenge in the belief that they would ease and encourage a vast burgeoning of numerical software. They did succeed to a considerable extent. Anyway, rounding anomalies that preoccupied all of us in the 1970s afflict only CRAY X-MPs — J90s now. Now atrophy threatens features of IEEE 754 caught in a vicious circle: Those features lack support in programming languages and compilers, so those features are mishandled and/or practically unusable, so those features are little known and less in demand, and so those features lack support in programming languages and compilers. To help break that circle, those features are discussed in these notes under the following headings: Representable Numbers, Normal and Subnormal, Infinite

  • NUG Single Node Optimization Presentation
    Single Node Optimization on Hopper Michael Stewart, NERSC Introduction ● Why are there so many compilers available on Hopper? ● Strengths and weaknesses of each compiler. ● Advice on choosing the most appropriate compiler for your work. ● Comparative benchmark results. ● How to compile and run with OpenMP for each compiler. ● Recommendations for running hybrid MPI/OpenMP codes on a node. Why So Many Compilers on Hopper? ● Franklin was delivered with the only commercially available compiler for Cray Opteron systems, PGI. ● GNU compilers were on Franklin, but at that time GNU Fortran optimization was poor. ● Next came Pathscale because of superior optimization. ● Cray was finally legally allowed to port their compiler to the Opteron so it was added next. ● Intel was popular on Carver, and it produced highly optimized codes on Hopper. ● PGI is still the default, but this is not a NERSC recommendation. Cray's current default is the Cray compiler, but we kept PGI to avoid disruption. PGI ● Strengths ○ Available on a wide variety of platforms making codes very portable. ○ Because of its wide usage, it is likely to compile almost any valid code cleanly. ● Weaknesses ○ Does not optimize as well as compilers more narrowly targeted to AMD architectures. ● Optimization recommendation: ○ -fast Cray ● Strengths ○ Fortran is well optimized for the Hopper architecture. ○ Uses Cray math libraries for optimization. ○ Well supported. ● Weaknesses ○ Compilations can take much longer than with other compilers. ○ Not very good optimization of C++ codes. ● Optimization recommendations: ○ Compile with no explicit optimization arguments. The default level of optimization is very high. Intel ● Strengths ○ Optimizes C++ and Fortran codes very well.

  • PHYS-4007/5007: Computational Physics Course Lecture Notes Section II
    PHYS-4007/5007: Computational Physics Course Lecture Notes Section II Dr. Donald G. Luttermoser East Tennessee State University Version 7.1 Abstract These class notes are designed for use of the instructor and students of the course PHYS-4007/5007: Computational Physics taught by Dr. Donald Luttermoser at East Tennessee State University. II. Choosing a Programming Language A. Which is the Best Programming Language for Your Work? 1. You have come up with a scientific idea which will require nu- merical work using a computer. One needs to ask oneself, which programming language will work best for the project? a) Projects involving data reduction and analysis typically need software with graphics capabilities. Examples of such graphics languages include IDL, Mathlab, Origin, GNU- plot, SuperMongo, and Mathematica. b) Projects involving a lot of ‘number-crunching’ typically require a programming language that is capable of car- rying out math functions in scientific notation with as much precision as possible. In physics and astronomy, the most commonly used number-crunching programming languages include the various flavors of Fortran, C, and more recently, Python. i) As noted in the last section, the decades old For- tran 77 is still widely use in physics and astronomy. ii) Over the past few years, Python has been growing in popularity in scientific programming. c) In this class, we will focus on two programming languages: Fortran and Python. From time to time we will discuss the IDL programming language since some of you may encounter this software during your graduate and profes- sional career. d) Any coding introduced in these notes will be written in either of these three programming languages.
