(j3.2006) (SC22WG5.5362) Draft slides for "The Future of Fortran" BOF at Supercomputing '14

[Bill Long]

Hi Steve,

It is a good idea to have a BoF like this.   The slides look fine.  It might be interesting to include in the enhanced interop TS discussion that a lot of the feature content was guided by requests from MPI and these features are used extensively in the new mpi_f08 module.   

Cheers,
Bill

It will consist of a short presentation on the Fortran standards efforts and then discussion among attendees and panelists. So far I have participation from PGI and Pathscale, plus Damian and Karla (well, Damian volunteered Karla but I haven?t heard from her). If anyone else (or a representative) on this list will be at SC14 and wants to join us, please let me know. There will also be a survey of the audience on what features from the standard they are using and which they?d like to use in the future.
