| Re: [ptp-user] Assistance needed to start with Eclipse/PTP |
Deb,
To use PTP tools with Eclipse 3.5 and CDT 6.0.x, you need PTP 3.0, which is available in a pre-release. We are still working on it, but the features
that are comparable to PTP 2.1 (which uses Eclipse 3.4 and CDT 5.0) are working in PTP 3.0.
See instructions here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/release_notes/3.0
If you plan to use MPI, PTP works best where an MPI that has been configured for PTP is available.
This includes Linux and Mac OSX.
Since you say multicore, perhaps you plan to do multi-threading work?
You will need a compiler and debugger (gcc and gdb?) supported by PTP and CDT on your machine.
On windows, cygwin or MinGW can provide this.
Often PTP users connect to a parallel machine remotely from windows - using the local machine for Eclipse/UI/etc and the remote machine to launch the parallel program.
For multi-threading, the CDT debugger depends on the underlying gdb for its support for multi-threaded debugging.
Let us know how you fare.

I am Deb, Statistician at NSW Department of Commerce, Sydney.
I am new to Eclipse/PTP and like to learn parallel programming especially multicore programming.
I am using Windows XP. I have downloaded and installed eclipse SDK version 3.5.0. I have also installed Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) version 6.0.
May I request you to assist me on the followings:
1. Should I need anything else to install to start with Eclipse/PTP. If it is, please let me know what are the remaining ones and where can I get them and any tips to install them.
2. Is there any example code(s) to start with?
3. Is there any documentation on multicore programming using Eclipse/PTP.
4. Any documentation for further reading and practice.
Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.
I am looking forward for your reply.
Regards,
Deb
