Parallel Runtime Interface for Fortran (PRIF) Specification (Rev. 0.6)

This document specifies an interface to support the multi-image parallelism features of Fortran, named the Parallel Runtime Interface for Fortran (PRIF). PRIF is a solution in which a runtime library is primarily responsible for implementing coarray allocation, deallocation and accesses, image synchronization, atomic operations, events, teams and collective subroutines. The Fortran compiler is responsible for transforming the invocation of Fortran-level multi-image parallelism features into procedure calls to the necessary PRIF subroutines. The interface is designed for portability across shared- and distributed-memory machines, different operating systems, and multiple architectures. Implementations of this interface are intended as an augmentation for the compiler's own runtime library. With an implementation-agnostic interface, alternative parallel runtime libraries may be developed that support the same interface. One benefit of this approach is the ability to vary the communication substrate. A central aim of this document is to define a parallel runtime interface in standard Fortran syntax, which enables us to leverage Fortran to succinctly express various properties of the procedure interfaces, including argument attributes.

Computational techniques for design optimization of thermal protection systems for the space shuttle vehicle. Volume 1: Final report

Computational techniques were developed and assimilated for the design optimization. The resulting computer program was then used to perform initial optimization and sensitivity studies on a typical thermal protection system (TPS) to demonstrate its application to the space shuttle TPS design. The program was developed in Fortran IV for the CDC 6400 but was subsequently converted to the Fortran V language to be used on the Univac 1108. The program allows for improvement and update of the performance prediction techniques. The program logic involves subroutines which handle the following basic functions: (1) a driver which calls for input, output, and communication between program and user and between the subroutines themselves; (2) thermodynamic analysis; (3) thermal stress analysis; (4) acoustic fatigue analysis; and (5) weights/cost analysis. In addition, a system total cost is predicted based on system weight and historical cost data of similar systems. Two basic types of input are provided, both of which are based on trajectory data. These are vehicle attitude (altitude, velocity, and angles of attack and sideslip), for external heat and pressure loads calculation, and heating rates and pressure loads as a function of time.

Space Trajectories Error Analysis (STEAP) Programs. Volume 1: Analytic manual, update

Manual revisions are presented for the modified and expanded STEAP series. The STEAP 2 is composed of three independent but related programs: NOMAL for the generation of n-body nominal trajectories performing a number of deterministic guidance events; ERRAN for the linear error analysis and generalized covariance analysis along specific targeted trajectories; and SIMUL for testing the mathematical models used in the navigation and guidance process. The analytic manual provides general problem description, formulation, and solution and the detailed analysis of subroutines. The programmers' manual gives descriptions of the overall structure of the programs as well as the computational flow and analysis of the individual subroutines. The user's manual provides information on the input and output quantities of the programs. These are updates to N69-36472 and N69-36473.

ALLMAG, GDALMG, LINTRA: Computer programs for geomagnetic field and field-line calculations

A set of computer programs has been developed for the calculation of the geomagnetic field and the tracing of field lines in space. The basic subroutine, geocentric ALLMAG, contains coefficients for seven recently-published field models as built-in data statements. At execution time the user can vary the model and/or the time period by simply changing input parameters. Subroutine GDALMG is adapted for input and output in geodetic coordinates. ALLMAG and GDALMG are equivalent to Cain's FIELD and FIELDG, with the added flexibility of the choice of seven models. LINTRA traces field lines from any point in space to a specified altitude intersect in the same or opposite hemisphere, using any of the models contained in ALLMAG. Input is in either geocentric or geodetic coordinates, and output is returned in both. McIlwain's INVAR package, which calculates B and L, has been adapted to use ALLMAG. All programs are described in detail, and sample calculations are given.

Integrated digital flight-control system for the space shuttle orbiter

The integrated digital flight control system is presented which provides rotational and translational control of the space shuttle orbiter in all phases of flight: from launch ascent through orbit to entry and touchdown, and during powered horizontal flights. The program provides a versatile control system structure while maintaining uniform communications with other programs, sensors, and control effectors by using an executive routine/functional subroutine format. The program reads all external variables at a single point, copies them into its dedicated storage, and then calls the required subroutines in the proper sequence. As a result, the flight control program is largely independent of other programs in the GN&C computer complex and is equally insensitive to the characteristics of the processor configuration. The integrated structure of the control system and the DFCS executive routine which embodies that structure are described along with the input and output. The specific estimation and control algorithms used in the various mission phases are given.

Determination of the geometrical factor and of the spatial distributions of particles for a cosmic ray telescope using a Monte Carlo approach

A program is presented which uses a Monte Carlo technique to compute the geometrical factor of a detector, and the spatial and angular distributions of simulated particles at designated layers within the detector. As the program is written, each layer is assumed to be rectangular, parallel to every other layer with its edges parallel to the edges of every other layer, and centered about a common axis. This program is written in Fortran 4 for the IBM 360 computers and is currently being run under the Fortran 4 (h) compiler. Same features such as the subroutine ERRSET, RANDU, and REMTIM and the type declarations REAL *8 and LOGICAL *1 may need to be changed for use with a different computer system. The use of input data cards, and a sample data set are presented. Lists of the symbol definition, card images of the FORTRAN object deck and subroutines are included along with a flow diagram.

Integrated Digital Flight Control System for the Space Shuttle Orbiter

The objectives of the integrated digital flight control system (DFCS) is to provide rotational and translational control of the space shuttle orbiter in all phases of flight: from launch ascent through orbit to entry and touchdown, and during powered horizontal flights. The program provides a versatile control system structure while maintaining uniform communications with other programs, sensors, and control effectors by using an executive routine/functional subroutine format. The program reads all external variables at a single point, copies them into its dedicated storage, and then calls the required subroutines in the proper sequence. As a result, the flight control program is largely independent of other programs in the computer complex and is equally insensitive to characteristics of the processor configuration. The integrated structure is described of the control system and the DFCS executive routine which embodies that structure. The input and output, including jet selection are included. Specific estimation and control algorithm are shown for the various mission phases: cruise (including horizontal powered flight), entry, on-orbit, and boost. Attitude maneuver routines that interface with the DFCS are included.

Simulation capability for dynamics of rotating counterweight space stations.

An analysis and computer program were prepared to realistically simulate the dynamic behavior of a class of space stations consisting of two end bodies separated by a connecting structure. The shape and mass distribution of the flexible end bodies are arbitrary; the connecting structure is flexible but massless and is capable of deployment and retraction. Fluid flowing in a piping system and rigid moving masses, representing a cargo elevator or crew members, have been modeled. Connecting structure characteristics, control systems, and externally applied loads are modeled in easily replaced subroutines. Subroutines currently available include a telescopic beam-type connecting structure as well as attitude, deployment, spin, and wobble control. In addition, a unique mass balance control system was developed to sense and balance mass shifts due to the motion of a cargo elevator. The mass of the cargo may vary through a large range. Numerical results are discussed for various types of runs.
