Can I compile a program here that will run on a tablet?

I guess its a different operating system entirely, but is there a way to generate executable code here

that I can migrate over to a tablet? Or does that require a separate compiler I would have to install on the

tablet?

I am not even sure I can compile any Fortran programs on a tablet.

Most Samsung tablets use an ARM processor and run Android. These are not compatible with Windows executables. Some use Intel processors but also run Android - not compatible. The Samsung ATIV Tab 3 uses an Intel processor and runs Windows - that you could run your executable on. In order to run a Windows Fortran executable on a tablet (or any other device), it has to use an Intel-compatible processor and run full Windows (not "Windows RT").

Fortran compilers are available for just about every processor there is. For ARM and Android, it would probably be gfortran, but a quick Google search suggests that you'd have to do the compile on Linux and build a custom cross-compiler of gcc/gfortran yourself. Or see here. This probably won't help you, if you have to use Windows.

Or you could simply change to a Windows 8 (not RT) tablet. There are many nice ones on the market - in addition to the Samsung ATIV, there's the Microsoft Surface Pro, Dell Venue Pro and one my mom just bought, the Asus T100. You could even do your builds right on the tablet.
