Minisymposium Presentation

Fortran continues to be a powerful programming language used in scientific computing, particularly in fields such as weather and climate modeling. Recognizing its importance, AMD has developed a next-generation Fortran compiler built on the open-source LLVM Flang project. This initiative aims to empower HPC developers to maximize the potential of AMD GPUs through OpenMP and direct ROCm/HIP interfaces. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the new AMD Fortran compiler, showcasing its capabilities with practical examples drawn from the ECRad radiation code.
