Fortr an is often used for scientific applications\, but applications are mainly developed using the standard procedural programming techniques that Fortr an was initially designed for.\n\nOOP is a programming methodology designe d to enable safe and reusable programming\, coupling procedures with the d ata they operate on in classes and using them as objects. More commonly as sociated with large programs\, and programs written in industry/companies\ , there are many scientific applications that become very large and long-l ived and therefore could benefit from such programming techniques to make development\, maintenance\, and extension of the code simpler and safer.\n \nWhilst Fortran is generally viewed as a procedural programming language there are features in the most recent versions of the Fortran standards (9 0\, 95\, and 2003) that enable development in OOP or OOP-like ways. We wil l introduce these language features and discuss/explore how they can be us ed in scientific applications.\n\nFamiliarity with a Unix or Linux environ ment is assumed\, and some experience with Fortran is advisable for gettin g the most out of the course material.\n\n \n\nTrainer\n\nAdrian Jackson\ nAdrian Jackson is a Research Architect at EPCC\, where he works on a rang e of different research\, from investigating new memory hardware and progr amming models\, to optimising and porting parallel codes\, and working wit h application scientists to enable their computational simulation or data analysis. He also teaches on EPCC's MSc in HPC\, giving lectures on Progra mming Skills\, HPC Architecture\, and Performance Programming.\n\n \n\nDe tails\n\nTopics include: object-oriented programming\, fortran modules\, d atatypes\, polymorphic variables and procedures\, constructors and destruc tors\, and inheritance.\n\nIntended learning outcomes\n\nOn completion of this course students should be able to:\n\nDevelop modularised Fortran pro grams.\n Define new datatypes and operators in Fortran.\n Understand basic OO concepts and strategies.\n Develop OO programs in Fortran.\n Compile a nd run Fortran programs on ARCHER.\n Understand basic design trade-offs fo r OOP in Fortran.\nPrerequisites\n\nWhilst there are no prerequisites for this course\, a familiarity with a Unix or Linux environment is assumed an d to fully benefit from the course some familiarity with Fortran programmi ng would be beneficial.\n\nTimetable\n\nDetails are subject to change\, bu t start\, end and break times will stay the same.\n\nDay 1\n\n09:30 Introd uction to Fortran\n 10:15 PRACTICAL: Fortran programming\n 11:00 BREAK\n 1 1:30 Introduction to Object Oriented Programming\n 12:00 PRACTICAL: Design ing an object oriented program\n 12:15 Modules\n 13:00 BREAK: Lunch\n 14:0 0 PRACTICAL: Modules\n 14:30 Derived types and operators\n 15.00 PRACTICAL : Derived types\n 15:30 BREAK\n 16:00 PRACTICAL: Continuing practicals\n 1 6:30 CLOSE\nDay 2\n\n09:30 Classes and data visibility\n 10:15 PRACTICAL: Fortran classes\n 11:15 BREAK\n 11:45 Inheritance and overloading\n 12.30 PRACTICAL: Generic classes and extensions\n 13.00 BREAK: Lunch\n 14.00 Des ign and performance considerations\n 14.45 PRACTICAL: Continuing practical s\n 15:15 BREAK\n 15:45 Further features\n 16:15 Summary\n 16:30 CLOSE\nCo urse Materials\n\nSlides and exercise material for this course are availab le here.\n\nhttps://events.prace-ri.eu/event/714/ SUMMARY:Object-Oriented Programming with Fortran @ EPCC at STFC Daresbury URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.prace-ri.eu/event/714/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
