TL;DR
The design of Fortran_Virtual_Memory is described and its use within an out-of-core sparse direct solver is commented on.
Abstract
Fortran_Virtual_Memory is a Fortran 95 package that provides facilities for reading from and writing to direct-access files. A buffer is used to avoid actual input/output operations whenever possible. The data may be spread over many files and for very large data sets these may be held on more than one device. We describe the design of Fortran_Virtual_Memory and comment on its use within an out-of-core sparse direct solver.

A new out‐of‐core package for the large sparse unsymmetric systems that arise from finite‐element problems is designed, which implements a multifrontal algorithm and achieves efficiency through the use of specially designed code for handling the input/output operations and efficient dense linear algebra kernels.
