 | VS FORTRAN, Version 2.6 provides superior tools for superior performance. It: - Performs vector and parallel processing
VS FORTRAN, Version 2 is a full-function product that includes support for the ES/3090 Vector Facility and expanded support for the ES/9000 Vector Facility. In addition, it performs vector and parallel processing, plus standard sequential (serial) processing, all within a single program. - Encompasses three products in one
The inclusion in VS FORTRAN, Version 2, of compiler, library, and interactive debugging facilities offers extensive usability, productivity, and performance enhancements. These include: - Highly optimized scalar processing for high serial program performance
- Vector processing for superior vector performance on the ES/3090 Vector Facility
- Expanded processing for enhanced vector performance on the ES/9000 Vector Facility
- Automatic parallelism and explicit parallel language support for reduced turnaround time for applications on IBM's multiprocessing hardware
- I/O data striping for faster execution of sequential I/O on OS/390
- Greater flexibility in creating and managing parallel programs
- Ability for OS/390 users to specify the number of I/O buffers to be used on a unit-by-unit basis
- 225 buffers allowed and maintained by the library I/O routines and buffer residency above the 16 MB area when operating on OS/390 using DFSMS 1.1 or greater
- Data-in-virtual support for OS/390
- Extended common blocks exploiting the ESA/390 data spaces facility for larger program storage for MVS/ESA and VM/ESA
- Compliance with the FORTRAN 77 language standard
- Expanded compatibility with the RISC System/6000 XL Fortran language for improved cross-platform and host-workstation cooperation
- Inclusion of industry-standard extensions to FORTRAN to provide multi-vendor compatibility
- Support for extended-precision (64-bit) integers
- Ability to package program modules independently and load these modules dynamically as needed to reduce program module complexity and simplify program maintenance
