Fortran transpiler FGPT bridges legacy code to JAX and NumPy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed FGPT, a novel transpiler designed to convert legacy Fortran code into modern Python frameworks like JAX and NumPy. This tool aims to bridge the expertise gap for scientists who are unfamiliar with Fortran but need to work with its high-performance computing capabilities. FGPT translates Fortran into GPU-adapted or auto-differentiable versions, preserving semantic fidelity and numerical accuracy for large-scale scientific applications. AI

IMPACT Enables modernization of scientific codebases, potentially accelerating research by leveraging modern AI and GPU frameworks.
