- Additional information
- Units-of-measure errors have caused high-profile failures (e.g., loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter). This paper is significant because it details a novel tool for units-of-measure typing in Fortran. It was selected at ICCS’15 for a special issue of the Journal of Computational Science. We delivered training on our tool across the UK/EU via NAG’s Fortran Modernisation workshops (10 total). This tool is deployed in the Met Office. The underlying libraries are used by Bloomberg who since donated £100k to the project.
