80 bit floating point

Some talk about 80 bits:

devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/470933/floating-point-processor-of-gpus/

Systems for multiprocessors and array processors

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprocessing

Intel Xeon processors dominated the multiprocessor market for business PCs and were the only major x86 option until the release of AMD's Opteron. ( do these do 80 bit floating point? )

Array Processing
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_processing

^^^^ more about signal processing than simulation

for plotting, though in Fortran

PLplot 'plplot.sf.net'

GNU, gcc, gfortran, gnuplot, of Free Software Foundation

Michael Metcalf, author very involved with Fortran.

SQLite, written in C. For Fortran there is fsqlite, developed by Markus.

SQLite developed by D. Richard Hipp, March 2012, 'www.sqlite.org'

PLplot, collection of libraries for plotting technical and scientific data

Tcl/Tk

Tklib, library of Tk extensions, 'tcllib.sf.net'

^^^^ works with GUI.

Gabriele Jost, Chapman, Ruud van der Pas, Using OpenMP: Portable Shared Memory Parallel Programming 2008.

Lusk, Gropp, Skjellum. Using MPI: portable parallel programming with message passing, 1999.

OpenMP and MPI are the two ways of doing parallel processing in Fortran.

Unit Testing, Junit is for java

For Fortran we have Funit, pfunit, FRUIT, and Ftnunit. All for Fortran or Fortran and Ruby.

Les Hatton, 'Safer C, Developing software for High-Integrity and Safety-critical systems' 1994

Code complete : / Steve McConnell
Redmond, Wash. : Microsoft Press, [2004]


XML Files, a very practical kind of compromise idea in my opinion.

used extensively in docbook.

Making TEX work / Norman Walsh (1994)


DocBook 5: The Definitive Guide: The Official Documentation for DocBook, by Walsh Norman


Beyond Objectivism and Relativism: Science, Hermeneutics, and Praxis First Edition Edition
by Richard J. Bernstein 1983, very good book

Circuit Design Using Personal Computers, by Thomas Cuthbert, 1983
^^^ has at least one other book too.



So what I was looking for: OpenMP and MPI are the two ways of doing parallel processing, in Fortran, but probably works in C too.

C++ without fear : a beginner's guide that makes you feel smart / Brian Overland. (2016)

Finite Elements For Electrical Engineers, Peter P. Silvester and Ronald L. Ferrari.

1996 third edition, but originally 1983.

Says to use Fortran, Pascal, or C.

But the examples in the book, dated 1995, are in Fortran.
