NBS FORTRAN Test Programs, Vol. 1: Documentation for Versions 1 and 3 This handbook describes a suite of FORTRAN test programs designed to check conformance with the FORTRAN standard. It explains how the 116 test units are organized into two versions and how they can be run as separate programs or linked together for efficiency.

The material covers the design goals, including staying within the FORTRAN Standard X3.9-1966, addressing non-prescribed areas like range and precision, and simplifying test use. It also notes the hardware and I/O requirements, memory usage, and typical compile-and-run times on large systems. The data and input cards accompany the program distribution to facilitate testing and environment identification.

• Learn how the test suite is structured across Version 1 (116 programs) and Version 3 (14 programs)


• Understand how to prepare control cards and input data for different FORTRAN systems


• See typical memory needs and expected compile/run times for various parts


• Identify which test units require data and how to interpret output

Ideal for programmers and organizations evaluating FORTRAN compilers, this edition helps readers verify language support and behavior against a specified standard.
