Supporting BFLOAT16 in Fortran: "Not Recommended"?

  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • fortran-wringer-tests

    A collection of non-portable Fortran usage, standard-conformant or otherwise

  • An ISO standard should promote portability across implementations, prevent breaking changes to the language, and coordinate design, prototyping, testing, and description of new features.

    Fortran features since F'95 are not terribly portable (https://github.com/klausler/fortran-wringer-tests); the F'23 standard has a needless breaking change; and every revision contains incompletely thought through features jammed in without prototyping ("rank agnostic array indexing"). They won't fix bugs, either -- it is possible to write DO CONCURRENT loops that are completely conformant but cannot be parallelized (and cannot be determined at compilation time).

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
