(j3.2006) If you are attending Supercomputing 17...

[Gary Klimowicz]

J3 community,

If you are attending SC17 in Denver this week, please join us for a Flang meetup. This is open to anyone interested in Fortran and the recently opened-up Flang compiler.

NVIDIA has reserved a room for the meetup on Wednesday at 6:30-7:30 PM at the Curtis Hotel in the Hopscotch room on the 3rd floor. (The Curtis is two blocks from the convention center, at 1405 Curtis Street.)

We will have a few lightning talks, presenting the status of Flang, perspectives from a Flang user (EJ Park at LANL), ARM Ltd.'s work with Flang in their commercial products (Ashok Bhat and Will Lovett), and a discussion of the future of Flang (Hal Finkel, Argonne National Lab).

Beer and snacks will be provided.

What is Flang?
Flang is a project led by NVIDIA (and our compiler division, PGI) to develop an open-source Fortran front end for the LLVM infrastructure. Flang is derived from the proprietary PGI Fortran compiler, with some significant reworking to make it suitable for an open-source project. Flang aims to elevate Fortran alongside clang as a first-class language in the LLVM community, and provide HPC users a viable path forward for Fortran-based applications and HPC research.

Flang is sponsored by the DOE/NNSA.

Please let me know if you would like to attend.

Best regards,

Gary Klimowicz
