No one on the panel provided a meaningful answer, and some were even puzzled why someone would want that.
NVidia knew pretty well not only why someone would want Fortran on the GPU, they bought PGI before someone else though about doing the same.
Meanwhile Khronos and AMD still haven't got it.
At least Intel Fortran now also does GPU, and like NVidia are having Python GPU JIT efforts.
And then there is the whole tooling, libraries and additional compilers with PTX backends.
