array allocation

[martymike]

will an allocation statement produce contiguous memory? If not, is this something controllable?

Yes it will be contigous

Be aware of Fortran's array indexing:

    ALLOCATE(array(100,100))

    ...

    value = array(I,J)

The next location in array's memory is array(I+1,J).

IOW the left most index is stride-1, the second (from left) index is stride-size(left most index).

This indexing order is reverse of what you find in C/C++.
