Evaluation of the TOOLPACK fortran programming environment.

Abstract

TOOLPACK is a programming environment for the development of medium-size Fortran programs by scientists, engineers and mathematicians. TOOLPACK was developed by a confederation of computer scientists at several government labs and universities in the United States and Great Britain; it was first released in 1985. This thesis is an evaluation of TOOLPACK. It includes a discussion of the installation on the VAX/VMS, benchmarks of tool performance, and a comparison of the users' needs, TOOLPACK goals and TOOLPACK capabilities.
