The taming of QCD by Fortran 90

We implement lattice QCD using the Fortran 90 language. We have designed machine independent modules that define fields (gauge, fermions, scalars, etc...) and have defined overloaded operators for all possible operations between fields, matrices and numbers. With these modules it is very simple to write QCD programs. We have also created a useful compression standard for storing the lattice configurations, a parallel implementation of the random generators, an assignment that does not require temporaries, and a machine independent precision definition. We have tested our program on parallel and single processor supercomputers obtaining excellent performances
