Summary:An electromagnetics application demonstrates how Fortran 90's
features facilitate the development of computational and science
engineering (CSE) applications, and how a good compiler can generate
efficient code from Fortran 90 source code, both in serial and parallel
forms. The article examines the applicability of Fortran 90's two main
new features, array language and abstract data types, to CSE. We
collectively call scientific and engineering applications technical
applications. Technical applications are typically numerically intensive
computations, often manipulating large collections of data in the form
of arrays. Technical programmers have long cherished the ability of
Fortran implementations to produce efficient code for numerical
computations
