I am (as you may well know) extremely fortran averse. However, a researcher in our department has recently asked what the current limits are on the size of an array in modern fortran(s) under linux. I suppose he'd like an answer for both 32 and 64 bit systems. From what I have been able to google out, it looks like the answer is 2^31 bytes in 32 bit systems and as big as the hardware permits less maybe a GB in 64 bit systems. Is this correct? Any fortran experts out there? I'd be happy for answers for more than one compiler, of course -- I'd guess that e.g. pathscale might have a greater capacity than e.g. gfortran than g77 legacy...
