Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6 (Fortran compiler)
Registration Code: 33106-060-1186591-00003
Visual Fortran 6.6 is a FORTRAN Compiler class, And Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6 (a powerful and complete FORTRAN programming tool on today's PC platform) should be uploaded at the user's request. Another well-known visual fortran software is Intel Visual Fortran compiler, which combines the rich features of the Compaq Visual Fortran * (CVF) language with Intel code generation and optimization technologies! Download as needed. Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6 is also used for the development of ABAQUS.
History: after Microsoft sold the Fortran PowerStation to Dec in 1997, Microsoft no longer published the Fortran compiler. Later, Dec was incorporated into Compaq, and later Compaq was merged with HP. The latest version is HP's FORTRAN for Windows v6.6. Now HP/Compaq is no longer developing Fortran, and CVF 6.6 is the final version, compaq's Fortran development team has already invested in intel, and Intel already has intel Visual Fortran 9.0. The official unit price of Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6 is also quite expensive.
Features of FORTRAN
The biggest feature of FORTRAN is that it is similar to the natural description of mathematical formulas and has a high execution efficiency in computers.
Easy to learn and rigorous syntax.
The matrix and plural values can be computed directly, which is similar to Matlab.
Since its birth, it has been widely used in the field of numerical computing and has accumulated a large number of efficient and reliable source programs.
Many specialized large-scale numerical computing computers have optimized FORTRAN.
It is widely used in parallel computing and high-performance computing.
The release of FORTRAN90, fortran95, and fortran2003 has given Fortran some features of modern advanced programming languages.
