[ptp-dev] PTP 1.1 New and Noteworthy - update to help plug-in
|
Upon being inspired by Greg's slides for our PTP Release 1.1 review
tomorrow (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/slides/PTP_1.1_Review.pdf)
I added a page to the PTP help plug-in "New and Noteworthy"
It's in the ptp_1_1 branch of the org.eclipse.ptp.help project/plug-in.
It looks roughly like the attached. Comments welcome.
Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) Release 1.1 - New and Noteworthy
The 1.1 release of PTP gives some new functionality, some bug fixes, and
some increased scalability to continue to enhance development and debug
capabilities for parallel projects.
Major
Features
Parallel The MPI Language Tools framework has been generalized
Language into a static analysis framework, the Parallel Language
Development Development Tools (PLDT). This will allow other
Tools programming models and parallel languages to use the
(PLDT) static analysis features.
OpenMP Static analysis of OpenMP codes has been added. This
Support provides similar functionality to the MPI support, but
includes additional support for detecting certain error
conditions in OpenMP pragmas.
Debugger The debugger has been enhanced to improve scalability
Scalability on very large parallel machines. It is has been tested
on a 1000 process job.
Debugger UI Improvements have been made to how variables are
Performance fetched and displayed in the UI in order to improve
performance.
MPICH2 Support for the MPICH2 runtime has been added. This
Runtime allows programs compiled with the MPICH2 runtime to be
launched using PTP. Debugging is not supported yet.
PTP 1.1 Detailed PTP 1.1 release notes are available at
Release http://www.eclipse.org/ptp/docs/releases/release-1.1.ph
Notes p
Build PTP supports a large range of machine architectures,
improvement operating systems and parallel runtime systems. In 1.1,
s dynamically linked executables have been deprecated,
and build scripts have been improved so this only
requires one command for PTP installation.
