The Programs Supplied with the textbook by Wolfson
and Pert
These are the programs supplied with the text and a Makefile to
compile them on an IBM PWR3 workstation (just change
FFLAGS=-O
and
LDFLAGS=
to compile on a generic box)
I cannot recommend the programming style embodied here.
No Fortran
program should be written that does not include an IMPLICIT NONE statement
and the use of Fortran IV is outdated.
Nevertheless, they have been
tested and presumably work (note there are 2 programs that don't work in
here, a test).
Programs I have written/modified for the course
and that you
will need to do the homeworks
Suggestions for possible projects topics

Some simple example MPI routines
A set of example MPI routines
