Does Fortran will be support in the future?

Postby cychen4 » Mon May 20, 2013 6:05 am

Hi,

I have a simple question. It there any plan that SDK will support Fortran programing (like: e-gfortran) in the future?

Because I found parallella can build as a linux cluster and run with MPI program in C from blog.

But most mpi codes I use now still be written in fortran. So, that's the biggest issue if I also

want to try build parallella as a small linux cluster. Because I think parallella will be a new trend to build

green HPC. (just my personal view.)

thx for your reply~

I'm not aware of any plans for "official" Fortran support via the Epiphany SDK (eSDK). However, I certainly wouldn't rule out a community effort, and would this be something that you might be interested in helping with?

Regards,

One nice way may be to work on the GCC Fortran frontend?
