| Valid Reason to Start Structural Analysis Software Project Using Fortran | |
| 1. Trivial | |
| - It has nice printing formatting by default | |
| - Less keywords to memorize | |
| - Long life since 1966 and will be keep alive by using modern standard | |
| - Compiled and fast | |
| 2. Numerical Reason | |
| - Supports matrix operation in simple terms compared to C/C++ | |
| - Solid and ready to use matrix operation: blas, lapack | |
| - In addition support acceleration using CUDA: cuBlas, cuFFT, cuSparse | |
| - Can use openACC for higher performance | |
| - It has native concurrent loops | |
| 3. Great Compiler Support | |
| - gfortran can be used for beginner and advance usage | |
| - Nvidia HPC (nvfortran) supports CUDA, openAcc, and openMP. Great compiler as for HP | |
| - Intel oneAPI (ifort) to build applications that can scale with optimized code designed for Intel architecture |
