Emerging GPU architectures for high performance computing are well suited to
a data-parallel programming model. This paper presents preliminary work
examining a programming methodology that provides Fortran programmers with
access to these emerging systems. We use array constructs in Fortran to show
how this infrequently exploited, standardized language feature is easily
transformed to lower-level accelerator code. The transformations in ForOpenCL
are based on a simple mapping from Fortran to OpenCL.
