The article is wrong or misleading in a number of respects. For instance, OpenMPI doesn't define the language interfaces -- the MPI standard does. It talks about "no aliasing of memory" -- the rules actually concern "storage association" -- and then claims Fortran passes by reference, misunderstanding the whole thing. The Benchmarks Game is pretty useless generally, but it's clearly useless to compare supposed language speed by using two different compilers anyway. I don't mean to knock Fortran.
