Scientific software must be adapted for different execution environments, problem sets, and available resources to ensure its efficiency and reliability. Although adaptation patterns can be found in a sizable percentage of recent scientific applications, the traditional scientific software stack lacks the adequate adaptation abstractions and tools. As a result, scientific programmers manually implement ad-hoc solutions that are hard to maintain and reuse. In this paper, we present a novel approach to adapting scientific software written in Fortran. Our approach leverages the binary object code compatibility between stack-based imperative programming languages. This compatibility makes it possible to apply a C++ Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) extension to Fortran programs. Our approach expresses the adaptive functionality as abstract aspects that implement known adaptation patterns and can be reused across multiple scientific applications. Application-specific code is systematically expressed through inheritance. The resulting adaptive functionality can be maintained by any programmer familiar with AOP, which has become a staple of modern software development. We validated the expressive power of our approach by refactoring the hand-coded adaptive functionality of a real-world computational fluid dynamics application suite. The refactored code expresses the adaptive functionality in 27% fewer ULOC on average by removing duplication and leveraging aspect inheritance.
