Julia: Fast as Fortran, Beautiful as Python

128

Thanks. I think the Fortran main program from your site is

program array_sum
use timing_module
use precision_module, wp => dp
implicit none
integer , parameter :: n=100000000
real (wp) ,dimension(n) :: x
real (wp) :: x_sum
  call start_timing()
  x=1.0_wp
  print *," array initialisation ",time_difference()
  x_sum=sum(x)
  print *," array summation      ",time_difference()
  print *,x_sum
  call end_timing()
end program array_sum

There was a long thread Simple summation 8x slower than in Julia (another thread title to be edited?) where it was found that Julia’s computed trig functions faster than gfortran.
