Researchers have developed an agentic workflow to modernize legacy High-Performance Computing (HPC) codebases, specifically targeting Fortran. This approach uses specialized AI agents to automate the conversion of large codebases, with humans overseeing key decision points. In a case study, this workflow successfully converted 56,448 lines of Fortran 77 code within the GAMESS quantum chemistry package to Fortran 2008, achieving bit-for-bit reproduction of canonical energies and passing all validation tests.
