Readers of this newsgroup might be interested in the following book to be published by Academic Press in the Fall ('88): A GUIDEBOOK TO FORTRAN ON SUPERCOMPUTERS John Levesque and Joel Williamson Pacific-Sierra Research Corp. The blurb reads as follows: "This book is intended to be used intensively by FORTRAN programmers who use supercomputers. All previous books on this topic have either addressed very academic, abstract topics and examples that were not general enough to be applied to a large collection of FORTRAN programs. The abundant examples used in the book cover a large range of DO loop characteristics whose discussion can be applied to existing FORTRAN programs. This is the first book that addresses "real world" FORTRAN examples that can be used to demonstrate how FORTRAN programs can be optimized systematically. Many of the restructuring examples from the book could be used immediately to optimize a reader's FORTRAN code for a substantial savings in execution time. FORTRAN programmers in all application areas will find this volume essential to their work." -- ...Richard Friedman [rchrd] uucp: {ucbvax,lll-lcc,ptsfa,hplabs}!well!rchrd - or - rchrd@well.uucp
