Development

Fortran is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, Fortran came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continuous use for over half a century.

Backup & Sync

SnapRAID is an open-source backup program for disk arrays. It protects data on hard disk drives by generating parity information that allows recovery from up to six disk failures. It does not create copies of files, but relies on regular block-level snapshots to provide history.
