The WEB system uses one or more programming languages (FORTRAN, Ratfor or C) together with the MJjX typesetting system to enable the generation of structured programs with documentation of arbitrary complexity and comprehensiveness. The basic ideas are those outlined above which are necessary for the integral implementations ... 

Parallelization for shared-memory systems is a relatively easy task, at least compared to that for distributed-memory systems. The reason lies in the fact that in shared-memory systems the user does not have to keep track of where the data items of a program are stored they all reside in the same shared memory. For such machines often an important part of the work in a program can be parallelized, vectorized, or both in an automatic fashion. Consider, for instance, the simple multiplication of two rows of numbers several thousand elements long. This is an operation that is abundant in the majority of technical/scientific programs. Expressed in the programming language Fortran 90, this operation would look like... 

The point is that Mathcad allows an effective (quick) problem definition and solution. There was such enthusiasm when high-level programming languages (Fortran, Pascal, BASIC, etc.) substituted assembly (low-level) computer codes. Exchanging higher-level computer languages for Mathcad now has removed the additional link between a computer and a specialist known as a programmer. 

Chao [21] implemented the model into a in-house program code written in the programming language FORTRAN and simulated aim high laboratory scale and a 4 m high industrial scale SE-SMR fluidized bed reactors using the three-fluid model. 

The Internet has become a wonderful source of (sometimes free) software for numerical analysis. Browse through it, and you will soon see that Fortran remains the programming language for serious numerical computation. One excellent book that is currently available without charge is... 

Programming languages for the LCAP systems comprises traditional FORTRAN and FORTRAN-like directives which are interpreted by a precompiler developed in our laboratory. The directives provide syntactical constructs for interprocessor communication and synchronization. A detailed description of the implementation of our quantum chemistry package HONDO has been given elsewhere. (Dupuis, M. Watts, J. D. Theor. Chim. Acta, in press.) Our experience indicates that the calculations done in the study described above were executed in parallel at a very high level of efficiency. 

A comprehensive discussion of computer programming is beyond the scope of this book. I assume that you know some computer programming language. All the examples will use FORTRAN since it is the most widely used by practicing... 

This program requires a knowledge of the fortran programming language. 

The development of expert systems need not be costly. There are several expert system shells commercially available, and an expert in artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer needed to program them. Simple IF-THEN rules can easily be programmed in more commonly used languages like FORTRAN and BASIC. In fact, the McDonnell Aircraft expert system referred to earilier was programmed in FORTRAN. Cost depends on the number of rules and... 

A scientist who writes programs in FORTRAN or some similar, scientifically oriented computer language, may be unaware of the potential use of computers to solve computational, but not necessarily numeric, problems which might arise in his research. 

An adjacency structure is surprisingly easy to define and manipulate in FORTRAN or any other standard programming language.
