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."
