Re: [ptp-user] PTP adoption

Giuseppe,
I've answered some of your questions below. For the remaining
questions, I'll have to defer to others to answer.

Dear ptp users,
I am getting familiar with the Eclipse PTP platform and I would like
to ask you some
questions I have not been able to find an answer for.
- I would prefer to employ the remote development tools to directly
work on remote
projects but there are some aspects of this approach I need a
clarification for:
- how would it be possible to keep maintaining my source code
under a version control
system (e.g. CVS,SVN) even for remote projects ?
I believe that you should still be able to use CVS with remote
projects, but Chris could correct me if I'm wrong. You would first
create the remote project, then check out the source files from CVS
using "Check out as..." and "Check out into an existing project".
- how much reliable is the RDT server ? how many users do you
estimate each server instance might
be able to support ?
- how much secure can the DSTORE protocol be considered ? would it
be secure to expose the server
on the public network ?
- As far as I understood only the SDM is supported as debugger. Is
there any plan to integrate other
debuggers such as gdb ? I might suppose that the integration of
advanced debuggers (e.s. totalview,
valgrind) can be done using the External Tools Framework.
The SDM uses gdb to perform debugging operations on parallel programs.
If are interested in using gdb to debug remote sequential programs,
then you might want to look at the remote launch configuration that
comes with CDT.
I believe Totalview has already done some Eclipse integration with
their product.
- Is there any plug-in which supports the PGI compiler ?
Adding compiler support is not particularly difficult, but I haven't
heard of PGI adding support for their compilers.
- The roadmap for the next releases reports a possible integration
with LSF. Could you please provide more
information about this ?
At one point Platform Computing were interested in adding support for
LSF, but I haven't seen anything eventuate. We will hopefully have
support for SLURM in the next release.
Many thanks for your precious help.
You're welcome. Thanks for your interest.
Greg
