Recap and references
A brief overview of the material covered during this week and some references to additional information.
You have reached the end of week 5, and the end of this course. This week, you learned about
- scientific libraries in the Fortran ecosystem for linear algebra, Fourier transformations, and more,
- the HDF5 file format and how to use it from Fortran,
- various paradigms for parallel programming with Fortran such as OpenMP, MPI, and coarray Fortran.
References
Quite some references to material pertinent to what you learned this week, including books and pointers to scientific libraries that you might find useful.
