Abstract
The next Fortran standard will include enhancements to the parallel programming model based on coarrays that is part of Fortran 2008. Included will be support for teams of images, synchronization using events, collective and atomic operations, enhanced error reporting, and continued execution after the failure of an image.

A Comparison of 12 Parallel FORTRAN Dialects
A simple program that approximates pi by numerical quadrature is rewritten to run on nine commercially available processors to illustrate the compilations that arise in parallel programming in FORTRAN. The machines used are the Alliant FX/8, BBN ...
A Pthreads Wrapper for Fortran 2003
With the advent of multicore processors, numerical and mathematical software relies on parallelism in order to benefit from hardware performance increases. We present the design and use of a Fortran 2003 wrapper for POSIX threads, called forthreads. ...
A Comparison of Co-Array Fortran and OpenMP Fortran for SPMD Programming
Co-Array Fortran, formally called F−−, is a small set of extensions to Fortran 90/95 for Single-Program-Multiple-Data (SPMD) parallel processing. OpenMP Fortran is a set of compiler directives that provide a high level interface to threads in Fortran, ...
