Just curious: Did you do any hard benchmarking to support that supposed performance advantage of Fortran compared to C used in a similar way - i.e. not doing any fancy stuff, just number crunching?
Any pointers, anybody?
A reasonable starting point would be http://www.amath.washington.edu/~lf/software/CompCPP_F90SciOOP.html since it's mainly in the realms of Computational Maths/Physics/Chemistry that FORTRAN remains important.
OK, thanks, that's a very informative site.
But according to the charts there, there is hardly any difference in
performance, right? Sometimes even C/C++ appears to be faster.
Or am I reading those charts wrong?
