The
UCAR Software Engineering Assembly will hold a panel of lightning talks followed by a discussion on language interoperability at 3 PM MT on Wednesday February 26, 2025.
The discussion can include more traditional Fortran-C/C++ interoperability, but we're especially interested in interoperability of compiled codes with interpreted languages such as Python and Julia. For example, the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) team is considering building out capabilities to facilitate the coupling of model components written in Python or Julia with those in Fortran, C and C++.
Each of the following panelists will present ~5 minute lightning talks on experiences and perspectives, which will be followed by an open discussion during the remaining time.
-
Bill Sacks - thoughts on prospective ESMF capabilities to facilitate the coupling of model components written in Python and Julia with C/C++/Fortran code
-
Kyle Shores - team maintains a lot of C++ code with C interface exposed for Fortran and Python interoperability
-
Orhan Eroglu - GeoCAT experiences leveraging Python-Fortran (via f2py) and Python-C++ (via Cython) interoperability
- Stas Jaroszynski - software engineer in CISL/VAST who developed the Vapor Python API which provides Python bindings to the Vapor C++ application
