Parallel Tools Platform Release 8.0
The Parallel Tools Platform is designed to allow the Eclipse
framework to be used for developing applications for parallel computer
systems. PTP provides the following functionality:
- tools for developing applications based on the Message Passing
Interface (MPI) standard (and other environments and APIs including OpenMP, UPC, OpenSHMEM, OpenACC, etc.)
- the ability to launch, control and monitor the execution of
parallel programs
- the ability to monitor parallel system status information
- an integrated parallel debugger
- a framework for integrating exernal dynamic tools
In addition, PTP provides a platform for parallel tool developers
to integrate their tools within the Eclipse framework. New tools can
take advantage of the user interface components and parallel services
that are provided by PTP, without the need to develop and support this
infrastructure across multiple platforms.
More information and downloads are available at http://eclipse.org/ptp.
PTP 8.0 is released as part of the Eclipse Luna Simultaneous release (June 2014).
