Titanium is an object-oriented, explicitly parallel programming language for scientific computing. Because Titanium is a novel language, it lacks the rich collection of libraries available for high performance C and Fortran programming. PETSc is a suite of data structures and routines for the scalable parallel solution of problems modeled by partial differential equations. We describe T i-PETSc...

Chasm is a toolkit providing seamless language interoperability between Fortran 95 and C++. Language interoperability is important to scientific programmers because scientific applications are predominantly written in Fortran, while software tools are mostly written in C++. Two design features differentiate Chasm from other related tools. First, we avoid the common-denominator type systems and ...

We present TaylUR, a Fortran 95 module to automatically compute the numerical values of a complex-valued function's derivatives w.r.t. several variables up to an arbitrary order in each variable, but excluding mixed derivatives. Arithmetic operators and Fortran 95 intrinsics are overloaded to act correctly on objects of defined type taylor, which encodes a function along with its first few deri...

Econometricians sweat linear algebra. Be it for linear or non-linear problems of estimation or inference, matrix algebra is a natural way of expressing these problems on paper. However, when it comes to writing computer programs to either implement tried and tested econometric procedures, or to research and prototype new routines, programming languages such as C or Fortran are more of a burden ...

Analysa [2] combined efficiency and expressiveness by using a functional programming language (AlScheme) as a scripting language which linked with C, C++ and Fortran code for efficiency. The Broadway compiler [18] supports domain-specific compiler optimizations. It provides compiler support for a wide range of domains and in the context of existing programming languages using a technique called...

The work we describe in this paper is part of an ongoing project which aims at the development of an integrated parallel and distributed programming environment for a heterogeneous network with multicomputer nodes. Several programming language models and parallel programming tools will be supported in the environment, on top of a common software platform that interfaces with the underlying oper...

Fortran 90 is a modern language that introduces many important new features beneficial for scientific programming. While the array-syntax notation has received the most attention, we have found that many modern softaware development techniques can be supported by this language, including object-oriented concepts. While Fortran 90 is not a full object-oriented language it can directly support ma...

Meta-programming has shown much promise for improving the quality of software by offering programming language techniques to address issues of modularity, reusability, maintainability, and extensibility. A system that supports metaprogramming is able to generate or manipulate other programs to extend their behavior. This paper describes OpenFortran, a Meta-Object Protocol (MOP) that is able to ...
