To take advantage of multicore, you want to make your application multithreaded, so that independent tasks can run in parallel. The compilers support OpenMP, which is an industry-standard approach to specifying parallel behavior in Fortran (and C) applications, and they also support automatic parallelization, though that won't get all the benefits of user-directed parallelism. more>
