Is Fortran the Best Programming Language? Asking ChatGPT By James ReindersIs

Guest contributor James Reinders concludes his “interview” with ChatGPT focusing on Fortran (greatest programming language ever?) and exploring what the next steps for chatbots will be.

I recently wrote about my experience with interviewing ChatGPT here. As promised, in this follow-on and conclusion of my interview, I focus on Fortran and other languages.

All in good fun. I hope you enjoy the conclusion of my interview. After my programming language questions, I conclude with a few notes about ChatGPT writing programs, and other chatbots creating book covers for us.

GPUs Are Taking Over the Engineering Simulation Market

Despite some holdouts, most simulation providers have woken up and smelled the graphics cards.Once the domain of specialists with high-powered computers, computer aided engineering (CAE) is becoming a workstation application for designers. Are computational fluid dynamic (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA) and other simulation programs taking advantage of GPU acceleration?

Eight Applications of Thermal Management in Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing and software tools facilitate heat exchanger design, resulting in improved performance in many thermal management applications.With product design becoming increasingly complex in nearly every industry, engineers have to do more with less, especially when it comes to thermal management. Appropriately managing product temperature is a difficult task with multiple design constraints.

Simulation Makes Underwater Farming Possible

The Current State of Underwater Farming Looks Ready for Simulation. The Nemo’s Garden project has been in motion for a decade now—since 2012, when inspiration struck Sergio Gamberini while he was on vacation. The idea to build underwater farming structures was born from thinking about the best possible conditions for growing basil.The ambitious goal of Nemo’s Garden is to “create an alternative system of agriculture, especially dedicated to those areas where environmental conditions, economical or morphologic reasons make plant growth extremely difficult.

Future Facilities calls itself a digital twin company that offers an array of different options for companies to model and monitor data centers. The 6SigmaET division of the company, however, has another focus: thermal simulation of electronics components. 6SigmaET was born in 2009 and built around a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver. The new Release 16 of 6SigmaET has several improvements related to faster solutions and better visual representation of those solutions.
