NNSA, national labs team with Nvidia to develop open-source Fortran compiler technology
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and its three national labs today announced they have reached an agreement with NVIDIA's PGI® software to create an open-source Fortran compiler designed for integration with the widely used LLVM compiler infrastructure.LLVM is a collection of reusable compiler and tool chain technologies with a modular design that facilitates support for a wide variety of programming languages and processor architectures.The Fortran front-end module created through this project will be derived from NVIDIA's PGI Fortran compiler
