In our look at scientific computing and the continued longevity of Fortran in science and engineering circles, one of the recurring themes in the discussion that followed was performance. One of the ...

We don’t know what normal people argue about, but we know we spend a lot of time arguing about the best microcontroller, which editor is the best, and what language or compiler does the best job. The ...

When Jim Keller talks about compute engines, you listen. And when Keller name drops a programming language and AI runtime environment, as he did in a recent interview with us, you do a little research ...

They say that in order to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion. Once you master that concept, you might decide that it’s time to write your own compiler that can compile itself as ...

FORTRAN started out as IBM's' Mathematical Formula Translating System. It was designed by a team led by John Backus and targeted computationally intensive applications from physics to weather ...
