vakНедавно в Дубне отмечали юбилей Николая Говоруна, инициатора создания первого компилятора Фортрана для БЭСМ-6.
"Nikolay Govorun is a phenomenon in science"
"In 1965, during a business trip to CERN, Govorun learnt about the computer centre, as well as about libraries and application packages in the Fortran language that were widely used to process experimental data. In the USSR during these years, the ALGOL programming language was widely developed, so Govorun's proposal to develop software in the Fortran language was not supported."
"In 1966 [...] the BESM-6 computer, the most high-performance computer in Europe appeared, yet it was not equipped with advanced programming systems. Afterwards, N.N.Govorun gathered a team of specialists from different institutes to develop the first in the USSR Fortran language translator for BESM-6 computer, adaptation of libraries and application software packages for experimental data processing. The result of this work was the popular and widespread Dubna monitor system. The next step was the development of the Dubna operating system for BESM-6 that made JINR famous."
