... I am developing an Informed Prefetching and Caching system as part of the kernel in which it is very important that the memory assigned to hold the data does not get swapped to disk. Without any thought to swapping I used vmalloc() to assign memory to the data structures of the Informed prefetching system. ... I later realized that most probably the pages assigned using vmalloc() were getting swapped to the disk and when I referenced them, they were brought from the disk rather than memory. ...

As conditional or control statements you have IF in many variants (but essentially not changed from Fortran 77), DO (with some new variants) and the completely new statement CASE . The DO- loop should now be ended with the statement END DO and we no longer need any statement number. In addition, we can use the statement EXIT to jump out of the DO -loop and CYCLE in order to go to the next iteration of the present DO -loop. ... all negative numbers WRITE (*,*) 'Negative number' CASE (0) ! ...
