Fortran 90 Compiler
g77 is a free Fortran 77 compilerfrom the Free Software Foundataion (FSF). For info on G77, now integrated intothe GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), see the online g77 documentation
To install the Windows version of the compiler, you will need to downloadthe following file:
The intel fortran (as you mentioned in your first post) is the fastest under windows 10 and i7 of all the compilers on average by about 50-100%. The speed of the gfortran is pretty much on par. Fortran 90 compiler free download. TDM-GCC Compiler TDM-GCC is now hosted on Github at The most recent stable rele.
Next, unzipthis file onto the root folder of drive C:.
Before running the compiler, you will need to run the g77setup.bat file inthe c:g77 folder. This sets up the path and an environment variable necessaryfor the compiler. This needs to be done each time you open an MSDOS window. Toaviod this, you can copy the text from this file and append it to yourautoexec.bat file (then reboot).
Freefor non-commercial, non-academic users
- Fortran Dialect Options (The GNU Fortran Compiler) -ffree-form. Specify the layout used by the source file. The free form layout was introduced in Fortran 90. Fixed form was traditionally used in older Fortran programs. When neither option is specified, the source form is determined by the file extension.
- Online Fortran Compiler. Compile your Fortran code using myCompiler's online IDE. Fiddle with your code snippets easily and run them. Start writing code instantly without having to download or install anything. Run your Fortran code. Program main print., 'Hello world!' End program main.
- Free Fortran Compilers There are a number of free Fortran 77 and 90 compilers available on the net. The one I have been using in my Fortran courses at York is GNU, which implements Fortran 77 and adds several Fortran 90 features. Clive Page (Dept of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leicester, UK) for providing the compiler.

Has both linux and windows binaries
This isfrom the Free Software Foundation.
Windows
Three kinds of packages are provided forWindows users: cygwin (for cygwin users) and mingw/'native Windows'(for people who do not use cygwin). Ifin doubt, or if you don't know what cygwin and mingw are, the package for youis the 'native Windows' package!
- Win64 build: The Mingw-w64 project has regularly updated snapshots of compilers generating 64-bit Windows executables. They provide three compilers, one running on Windows (it works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows), one on 32-bit Cygwin and one on 32-bit Linux.
- mingw build, or 'native Windows': download the latest installer (dated 2009-04-21). It's very easy to use (basically, just click on the OK buttons), but some detailed info is also available. These binaries are known to work on Windows XP, and known to fail on Windows 98. They probably work for versions above 98.
- Official http://www.mingw.org/ MinGW builds (only releases), last seen was 4.4.0 (2009-06-22)
- Cygwin build: Download the latest here (2009-07-08). This should work with any i686 compatible processor. Instructions are on this page.
- NOTE: The GMP and MPFR packages must be installed for gfortran to work.
- MinGW 32/64bit builds by www.Equation.com (builds were announced at comp.lang.fortran and are said to work well)
Note: Theofficial MinGW and Cygwin project sites also offer GCC/gfortran builds - thoughthey are older (4.3 in November 2008); see MinGW andCygwin (GCC4 packages).
MacOS
gfortran isavailable as a nice Apple-style installer for MacOS X Tiger (10.4) and Leopard(10.5) users. It is easy to install. Detailed instructions are here. Both PowerPC andIntel compilers are provided:
- PowerPC: download (2009-02-03; Leopard only)
- Intel: download (2009-06-04; Tiger and Leopard)
There's also an Xcodeplugin for gfortran which uses the binariescompiled by Gaurav Khanna.
GNU/Linux
Most Linux distributions offergfortran packages (including 4.3.0)For those ofyou who wish to try the latest gfortran (under development), we offer regularbuilds for the 32bit x86 (ia32, i386, x86-32) and the 64bit x86-64 (AMD64,Intel em64t, Intel64) Linux systems.

Absoft Fortran Compilers are set of Fortrancompilers for Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, and Linux produced by Absoft Corporation.[1] The compilers are source code compatible across platforms.[2]
- Absoft Pro Fortran on 64-bit platforms supports both 32 bit and 64 bit executables; the user selects which format that the compiler will produce.
- Linux compilers are available in either 32-bit or 64-bit versions. The 32-bit version produces only 32-bit executables.
All are bundled with a graphical debugger and an integrated development environment. Single thread and parallel multithread support is controlled by the user and includes five optimization levels, OpenMP, Speed Math levels 0 through 9, and other advanced capabilities.
History[edit]
Origins: Absoft FORTRAN 77 for MC68000 Systems[edit]
The principals of Absoft, Peter Jacobson and Wood Lotz, met at the University of Michigan. Together they started an audio store, Absolute Sound, in 1975. In 1979, they noted the emergence of 16-bit microcomputers and saw a market for high quality Fortran compilers and built a compiler for the Western Digital WD16 microprocessor, which they released commercially in 1980. The name Absolute Software was used at first, but the shortened name Absoft was adopted as a more practical trademark.
Absoft FORTRAN 77 for Macintosh[edit]
Absoft’s first major sales success was a $500K contract with Alpha Microsystems for worldwide redistribution rights of a Fortran 77 compiler compatible with their AMOS operating system using a Motorola 68000 series processor. At this point Absoft still consisted of only the two founders, so this success allowed the company to remain independent, add staff, and move to a larger office facility. Additional OEM contracts for Fortran compilers for various Unix variants followed. The founders hired a manager for Absolute Sound which continued its success and expanded to three stores; the chain was sold to a larger Hi-Fi chain in 1988.
MIL-STD-1753 Supplement for FORTRAN 77[edit]
MIL-STD-1753 was released by the DoD in 1978 to standardize some features of Industrial Real-Time Fortran as extensions of Fortran 77.[3][4] This extension added IMPLICIT NONE
, DO WHILE
, END DO
to replace CONTINUE
as the statement to end DO
loops, and intrinsic functions for testing and setting bits. MIL-STD-1753 was absorbed into the ISO/IEC 1539:1991 standard and later ISO/IEC standards are MIL-STD-1753 compliant, and MIL-STD-1753 was dropped as superfluous in 1995.[5]
Absoft FORTRAN 77 for Apple Macintosh and Windows[edit]
When Alpha Micro released their MC68000 based microcomputer, Absoft expanded their offerings to Motorola and the Macintosh. The availability of MD68000-based machines made 32-bit Unix viable on small machines, and Absoft offered Fortran compilers for Unix machines by Data General, HP, Sun Microsystems, Tektronix, and others.
In 1985 Microsoft licensed MacFortran, which consisted of a native ANSI FORTRAN 77 compiler and graphical debugger. Shortly thereafter, Microsoft contracted with Absoft to develop Microsoft Fortran for Macintosh, and a Microsoft BASIC compiler that was 100% syntax compatible with the existing Microsoft BASIC interpreter on the Macintosh. Apple was one of the first Mac Fortran customers, with a large order for Drexel University. Variations of the Fortran and BASIC compilers for Macintosh were marketed under the name A/C Fortran and A/C Basic for Amiga. Fortran compilers for Linux/Unix and Microsoft Windows followed.
The Mac and Amiga Fortran compilers included an Integrated development environment (IDE) and profiler. The IDE was added to the Windows compilers and is included in all succeeding Absoft Fortran compilers.
Fortran 90 and the Internet[edit]
During the 1990s the broadened product lines and internet enabled Absoft to build a base of resellers worldwide. For a period of time in the mid-1990s Absoft had a full-time representative in California but expanded internet usage eliminated that position and allowed everything to be run out of a single location.

- Microsoft Windows
- Mac Intel x86_64 (OS X)
- Mac PPC (OS X PPC G5)
- Linux 32-bit Intel x86
- Linux 64-bit Intel x86_64
The Windows, Mac and 64-bit Linux versions produce either 32-bit or 64-bit executables according to user option. The Linux 32-bit version produces 32-bit executables.
All versions offer the IMSL libraries as an extra-cost option.
GINO GUI Lite is available as an optional component without added cost. GINO GUI and graphics, and Winteracter GUI Toolset are available also are available at extra cost.
Parallel processing and optimization[edit]
Absoft Pro Fortan parallelization and optimization options are illustrated by the screen shot of the relevant options page to the right. Absoft Pro Fortran provides five levels of classical optimization and Speed Math options 0 through 9.
Parallelization options include auto parallelization as a check box with graphical indications of degrees of success on the source code in the editor pane as highlighting colors. OpenMP 3.0 is also available as a check box. Speed OpenMP is available as none or levels 0 through 5.
Absoft offers support for MPI (MPICH2 and Open MPI). ScaLAPACK and BLACS[14] is shipped with all platforms. IMSL 7.0, integrated but available as a separate license since the v. 7.0 release in 2011, supplies MPICH2.
Executing programs that use parallelization on machines that do not have Absoft Fortran installed requires inclusion of pthreadVC2.dll
for 32-bit executables or, for 64-bit executables, pthreadVC2_64.dll
. This library is distributed under the LGPL 2.1.
Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008 extensions[edit]
Some Fortran 2003 and Fortran 2008[15] extensions have been implemented as of April 2014 with version 14.0.3.[16]

Bundled and optional packages[edit]
All of these packages are included in the IDE and fully integrated into the compiler. Cost is included in purchase price except IMSL and GINO or Winteracter, which are sold separately. Installed packages can be selected for inclusion in a build by checkboxes on a tab on the Project Options menu as illustrated in the screen shot to the right. Some of these are detailed below.
Absoft FX3 graphical debugger[edit]
The FX3 graphical debugger is bundled with all Absoft Pro Fortran releases. The FX3 graphical debugger is compatible with the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) (on Macintosh and Linux), Apple C, Microsoft Visual Studio C/C++ (Windows only), and assembly language on all three platforms.
GINO's and Winteracter's GUI for Fortran[edit]
GINO[17] and Winteracter[18][19] are optional third-party APIs for creating complex 2D and 3D graphics and GUI applications using Fortran programs. GINO Lite (32-bit only, some restrictions) is bundled with Absoft Pro Fortran for Windows at no additional charge and is well suited for most users. Absoft offers licenses on all platforms for full versions of GINO or Winteracter that includes 64-bit support, has no limitations, and is integrated with the Absoft Pro Fortran suite.
IMSL libraries[edit]
Absoft is the only commercial Fortran vendor to offer IMSL Numerical Libraries bundles with Fortran compilers for Windows, Mac and Linux. Absoft is the only IMSL provider for MacOS. Absoft sells licenses for IMSL and documentation as unlocking codes that allow release of IMSL libraries and documentation from the Absoft installation software. Current releases ship with IMSL 7, the latest release.
UNIX and VAX/VMS compatibility libraries[edit]
For use in porting code written on UNIX or VAX systems, libraries of UNIX-specific and VAX-specific Fortran intrinsics are available by checking a box in the Project Options, Libraries/Tools window. Other extensions important for porting from other platforms, such as Cray pointers, are included in Absoft Pro Fortran as part of the compiler.
LAPACK and BLAS[edit]
Linear Algebra Package (LAPACK with Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS), or BLAS alone, are offered as linkable libraries.
HDF4, HDF5[edit]
Hierarchical Data Format libraries HDF4 release 4.2.8 and HDF5 release 1.8.9 can be included by checking a box in the Project Options, Libraries/Tools window.
NetCDF[edit]
Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) version 4.3 is available by checking a box.
CUDA and CAPS[edit]
NVIDIA manufactures graphics cards that use arrays of Complete Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) graphics processing units. A special version of BLAS can be included in linking libraries by checking a box in the Project Options, Libraries/Tools window.
CAPS is a many-core compiler for using arrays of CUDA cores in a GPU for computation.
PLplot libraries[edit]
PLplot 5.9 is available by checking a box on the Project Options Libraries/Tools window. Bindings are available for both single and double precision, from FORTRAN 77 or Fortran 95 or for calling from Microsoft WIN32.
Fortran 90 Compiler
DLL and system calls[edit]
For all platforms, Absoft Pro Fortran links from user static or dynamic libraries provided by the system, other compilers, or the user. Absoft Pro Fortran has the capability to generate both static and dynamic libraries.
Command line and C/C++ interoperability[edit]
All Absoft compilers can be invoked and fully controlled form the command line. Since Absoft has used the system linker format for all platforms since version 10.0 in 2005, C/C++ object files can be linked with Absoft compiler object files, and integration with the most common C/C++ compilers is done by settings in the Absoft IDE.
The Absoft IDE is hard-wired to use the Absoft Fortran compilers, and is customizable to use a C/C++ compiler that produces object files compatible with the system linker.
Absoft-specific GUI optional features[edit]
Absoft-specific GUI options allow use of programs compiled with Absoft Pro Fortran using the mouse and dealing with pop-ups in the same way that windowed GUI applications are used. The use of Absoft-specific GUI features is portable between platforms using Absoft Pro Fortran on each platform, but other compilers and platforms cannot use these features, and Absoft-specific feature code will not be recognized by other compilers.
MRWE[edit]
The Microsoft/Macintosh Runtime Window Environment (MRWE)[20] option uses a Fortran 77 overarching main program that calls system GUI libraries to produce a windowed application. The MRWE environment is selected as an executable type in the IDE options for building an application. The default MRWE program maps input and output to a scrolling window similar to a command prompt, but the user retains all the output and can save it as a text file after the program exits. Hooks are provided in the MRWE GUI program to add Windows system calls to enhance the user interface, providing the potential for a full-featured Windows program written entirely in Fortran. MRWE source code is available as a starting point for an all-Fortran Win32 GUI application. MRWE was replaced by AWE in 2012 but is still available as a target environment for legacy programs.
AWE[edit]
The Absoft Window Environment (AWE[21]) is provided by selecting the application type in the GUI. When this is done, a file AWE_Preferences.f95
is added to your project. This Fortran file includes small procedures called during initialization that configure AWE by defining stack size for the interactive window, window size and behavior, and the font.
An AWE application can enhance the interactive console window menu items that can be used to execute program units and exit, providing a GUI for an interactive application. The program units can operate using pop-ups, menus, and display windows, so that the traditional console I/O is not used at all, and thus providing an all-Fortran GUI driven application on all three supported platforms.
AWE applications distributed for use without the Absoft compiler need to have libgomp.dll
included with 32-bit executable files or libgompx64.dll
for 64-bit executable files. These DLLs are released under the Free Software FoundationGNU General Public License (version 3 with GCC Library Exception).[22]The interactive pop-ups, graphics, and spreadsheets are accessed bu a use AWE_Interfaces
statement. Distribution of executables with these features requires inclusion of QtCore4.dll
and QtGui4.dll
. Qt[23][24] is licensed under the LGPL v. 2.1.
Interactive console window[edit]
Compiling as an AWE application maps standard input and output to a scrolling window similar to a command prompt, but the user retains all the output and has the option of saving it as a text file after the program exits. The other features, detailed below, are enabled by the use of an AWE application. An interactive AWE application can be written that does not use the interactive console at all, leaving this window available for use as a run log.
Menus, pop-up messages, dialog boxes, and forms[edit]
These functions are implemented through calls to procedures in the AWE_Interfaces
module. Coding is about the same as would be needed for an interactive command-line window interface.[25]
Built-in graphics[edit]
Bar charts, pie charts and X-Y charts are supported through calls to procedures in the AWE_Interfaces
module. Defaults provide simplified usage but a great deal of flexibility in output colors, line colors and widths, background, etc. are available if desired.[26]
Three-D plots[edit]
Three-d plots including perspective x-y-z plots and contour plots also are supported through calls to procedures in the AWE_Interfaces
module for the 2015 release and later.
Spreadsheets[edit]
You can create spread sheet windows in AWE to display rank 2 arrays. Subroutines are provided to open, close, read, write, and label spread sheets. Menu commands, described above, can be added to an AWE program to manipulate the data in the spread sheet.[27]
