Prerequisites
The course can be followed independently of "Scientific Programming I" and does not require any previous knowledge in programming.
Course intended for PhD students, available to master-degree students.
Syllabus
The course will address the following aspects:
- Introduction to computer architectures, hardware limitations, and programming languages
- Basic concepts of the language
- Advanced concepts of the language in terms of performance
- Object oriented programming in Fortran
- Parallel programming
- Code optimization and interfacing
Key concepts of the language will be illustrated through the progressive development of a fully functional program
during the course.
The reference version of the language is Fortran 2008
The course is composed of a didactic part of 36 hours (2-3 lessons of 2 hours each per week) and a practical part of
12 hours (3 sessions of 4 hours, the first one on basic concepts, the second on procedural programming, including functions, modules and libraries, and the last one on object-oriented programming and interfacing with other languages).
