The co-array programming model -- Partition operators -- Reverse partition operators -- Collective operations -- Performance modeling -- Partitioned matrix classes -- Iterative solvers for sparse matrices -- Blocked matrices -- The matrix-transpose operation -- The halo-exchange operation -- Sub-partition operators -- Blocked linear algebra -- The finite element method -- Graph algorithms.

This book describes the coarray parallel programming model that will be part of the next standard version of the Fortran language. It provides a practical guide for Fortran programmers who want to start writing parallel applications using coarrays as soon as the compilers become commercially available. The authors present the technical specification of the coarray model in enough detail for programmers to write standard-conforming code. They also offer a large number of examples of parallel algorithms written in the coarray model and include exercises with solutions. A supplementary website offers Fortran code samples for download-- Provided by publisher.
