This course, partly a PRACE Advanced Training Center (PATC) course, is targeted at scientists who wish to extend their knowledge of Fortran to cover advanced features of the language.

Topics covered include:

Days 1-3:

Best Practices
global objects and interfaces
abstract interfaces and the IMPORT statement
object based programming

Object-Oriented Programming
type extension, polymorphism and inheritance
    binding of procedures to types and objects
    generic type-bound procedures
    abstract types and deferred bindings

IEEE features and floating point exceptions
Interoperability with C
mixed language programming patterns

Fortran 2003 I/O extensions

Days 4-5 (PATC course):

OO Design Patterns: application of object-oriented programming
creation and destruction of objects
polymorphic objects and function arguments
interacting objects
dependency inversion: submodules and plugins

Coarrays
PGAS concepts and coarray basics
    dynamic entities
    advanced synchronization
    parallel programming patterns
    recent enhancements: collectives, events, teams, atomic subroutines
    performance aspects of coarray programming

To consolidate the lecture material, each day's approximately 4 hours of lecture are complemented by 3 hours of hands-on sessions. The last 2 days of the course are a PATC event. A social event (self-paid dinner) for participant and instructor networking is planned for the evening on Tuesday, September 12, 2017.
