Transferability of FORTRAN Benchmarks,

Abstract

Although FORTRAN is a relatively simple language, its wide acceptance has resulted in a variety of extensions, and this proliferation of dialects greatly hampers the transferability of FORTRAN programs. It must be said at the outset that complete transferability is probably not achievable, due to irreconcilable differences in machine architectures. Portable programs can, however, be produced with the aid of appropriate software tools. The most systematic and comprehensive attempt at producing portable FORTRAN programs has been the development of PFORTRAN.
