[comp.os.vms] Info on VAX/VMS FORTRAN preformance?

mcdermot@unmvax.unm.edu (John McDermott) (03/30/88)

I have recently been working on improving the performance of some VMS
FORTRAN programs.  I have found some really interesting things (for instance:
in read(lu)(x(i),i=<st>,<end>) if st is an expression, the compiler
generates code for writing one element of x at a time.  If st is a constant
or a single variable, the compiler generates code for one single write of the 
appropriate size.).

If anyone has any other good info, I would sure apreciate hearing it:
it is a real pain to keep generating "machine" listings and looking at the
code. 
Thanks,
john
