Altering the FORTRAN-based array indices, +starting at element 1, to start at element 0 for C, would require +numerous changes, including decrementing the variable indices by 1. +Instead, the array E1[] was declared 1 element larger in C. This +allows the FORTRAN index range to function without any literal or +variable indices changes. The array element E1[0] is simply never +used and does not alter the benchmark results. |
