SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calling a Fortran 77 subroutine, convolvef77, from Fortran 90 code, where incorrect results were observed. The primary issue identified is that the array xy in the subroutine was not initialized to zero, leading to erroneous output. The solution provided is to initialize xy to zero before entering the main loop of the subroutine to ensure correct convolution results.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 syntax
  • Familiarity with array initialization in Fortran
  • Knowledge of convolution algorithms
  • Experience with debugging numerical algorithms
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn about array initialization in Fortran, specifically in Fortran 77 and 90
  • Study convolution algorithms and their implementations in Fortran
  • Explore debugging techniques for numerical computations in Fortran
  • Investigate differences between Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 regarding array handling
USEFUL FOR

Fortran developers, numerical analysts, and anyone involved in scientific computing who needs to integrate legacy Fortran 77 code with modern Fortran 90 applications.

I am calling a fortran 77 subroutine in a fortran 90 code and the results i am getting are wrong as confirmed from matlab. Can anybody please let me know where is the problem?

Fortran:
do isss=1,5
    do ig=1,10
        dat0=dat(:,ig,isss)
        do iss=1,5                 
                if ((ig>isss) .and. (ig>iss) .and. (iss>isss)) then
                    dat1=dat(:,ig,iss)
                    temp=dat1(10:1:-1)
                    call convolvef77(dat0, m, temp, m, xcorr)
                    vshot(:,isss,iss)=xcorr(10:19)+vshot(:,isss,iss)
                end if
        end do
    end do
end do
!
Fortran:
    subroutine convolvef77 (x, lx, y, ly, xy)
c
c A basic implementation of convolution algorithm for two vectors
c I use zero-based arrays here.
c
      integer lx, ly, i, j
      real x(0:lx-1), y(0:ly-1), xy(0:lx+ly-2)
 
      do 20 i = 0, (lx-1)
         do 15 j = 0, (ly-1)
            xy(i+j) = xy(i+j) + x(i) * y(j)
  15     continue
  20  continue

      end

Your problem has nothing to do with F77 vs F90, but rather because array xy is not initialized to 0 in convolvef77.

Thank you for your quick reply. When i am initializing xy to 0, only first and last terms of the array are getting correct value because every time j iterates it makes xy(i+j)=0. How should I initialize it then?

You need to set xy to 0 before the main loop.
