This example demonstrates how to implement stateful operations using Co-array Fortran. Co-array Fortran provides a parallel programming model that allows for shared memory-style programming in a distributed memory environment.

In this implementation:

  1. We define two derived types read_op and write_op to encapsulate read and write operations.

  2. We use co-arrays for reads, writes, state, read_ops, and write_ops to allow sharing of data across images (parallel processes).

  3. The run_stateful_coarray subroutine simulates the behavior of multiple goroutines performing read and write operations. It uses random number generation to simulate the random access pattern.

  4. Instead of channels, we directly modify the shared state co-array and update the operation counters.

  5. The sleep calls simulate the time delay between operations.

  6. The report_results subroutine prints the final operation counts, but only on the first image to avoid duplicate output.

To run this program:

$ gfortran -fcoarray=single stateful_coarrays.f90 -o stateful_coarrays
$ ./stateful_coarrays

Note that this implementation uses a single-image coarray model for simplicity. In a real-world scenario, you would typically run this across multiple images to take advantage of parallelism:

$ gfortran -fcoarray=lib stateful_coarrays.f90 -o stateful_coarrays -lcaf_mpi
$ cafrun -np 4 ./stateful_coarrays

This Co-array Fortran version provides a different approach to managing shared state compared to the original example. Instead of using goroutines and channels, it uses co-arrays to share data across parallel processes. The synchronization is implicit in the co-array operations, providing a different model for concurrent programming.
