Posted 17 Aug 2012 by BigBrownBear Post: For you to gets identical bit for bit 0 ULP different results after many gigaflops with 5 different FORTRAN compilers at different levels of optimization, then you must be one serious programmer, FORTRAN or not. Besides, I haven't seen, much less thought about, FORTRAN since my days @ Alabama State University days in the late 90's. I wonder if the source code was converted to come other high level programing language (ie C, COBOL, Pascal, APL, BASIC (ewwww!)) would their be a really big difference (speed/compiled code size/results from WU/ect.)? |

Posted 28 Dec 2009 by BigBrownBear Post: Try using a 300 baud modem on a Tandy PC (the 1 /w a 5.25\" 360K floppy & a whopping 640KB of RAM) running M$-DOS 3.x & Procomm+ to access an Opus BBS on FidoNet. Sending a email to someone on FidoNet userly waited until 3AM Central Time (GMT-5/6); unless the message was going to another FidoNet node in town or within the local \"Area Calling\" area. (Area Calling, for those who don\'t know or forgot about it, is the ability to call a long distance phone number within a 30 mike radius of the caller\'s location.) This was back in the mid 80\' till the late 90\'. Well, @ least FidoNet had a FidoNet to Internet Gateway, but, some SysOps would \"beat the brakes\" off you if you did a \"FTP by email\" from the Internet to a FidoNet node/BBS. Man, no FTP, just zmodem, xmodem, ymodem, kermit; whoa, those were the days. Does anybody remember Gopher? That was before WWW! |
