SCHEDULE: NOV 10-16, 2007

Application Development Using Eclipse and the Parallel Tools Platform

Session: S03

Event Type: Tutorial

Time: 8:30am - 5:00pm

Presenter(s): Beth R. Tibbitts, Greg Watson, Craig Rasmussen

Location: A10

Abstract:
The Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) is an open-source Eclipse Foundation project (http://eclipse.org/ptp) for parallel application development and debugging, and a research base for integrating future parallel tools.

Eclipse offers features expected from a commercial quality integrated development environment (IDE): a syntax-highlighting editor, a source-level debugger, revision control (including CVS and Subversion), code refactoring, and support for multiple languages, including C, C++, and Fortran.

PTP allows parallel application developers to use Eclipse as a portable parallel IDE across a wide range of parallel systems. PTP also includes a scalable parallel debugger, and tools for development of parallel programs (including MPI and OpenMP.)

This tutorial will introduce participants to the Eclipse platform and provide hands-on experience in developing and debugging parallel applications using Eclipse and PTP with C, Fortran, and MPI. Integration with performance tools, resource management tools, and remote machine support will also be covered. Students should bring a laptop.
