   Here’s another bit of terminology the Fortran spec seemed to feel the need   
   to invent for itself: talking about “images” to refer to running instances   
   of a program. I figured this either meant “thread” or “process”, but a   
   clue appears in the 2018 spec, section 11.4, “STOP and ERROR STOP   
   statements”:   
      
       When an image is terminated by a STOP or ERROR STOP statement, its   
       stop code, if any, is made available in a processor-dependent   
       manner. If the stop-code is an integer, it is recommended that the   
       value be used as the process exit status, if the processor   
       supports that concept.   
      
   So an image “terminates”, and returns a process “exit status”; this   
   must   
   mean that an “image” is equivalent to a “process”.
