Developing and Tuning Parallel Scientific Applications in Eclipse

SESSION: Developing and Tuning Parallel Scientific Applications in Eclipse

EVENT TYPE: Tutorials

TIME: 8:30AM - 5:00PM

Presenter(s):Beth R. Tibbitts, Greg Watson, Jay Alameda, Jeff Overbey

ROOM:251-A

ABSTRACT:
For many HPC developers, developing and tuning parallel scientific applications involves a hodgepodge of disparate command line tools. Based on the successful open-source Eclipse integrated development environment, the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) combines tools for coding, debugging, job scheduling, error detection, tuning, revision control and more into a single tool with a streamlined graphical user interface. PTP helps manage the complexity of HPC code development and optimization on diverse platforms. This tutorial will provide attendees with a hands-on introduction to Eclipse and PTP. (Compared to previous years, this years tutorial will contain substantially more material on performance tuning, and less introductory material.) Part 1 (Morning) will introduce code development in Eclipse: editing, building, launching and monitoring parallel applications in C and Fortran. It will also cover support for efficient development of code on remote machines, and developing and analyzing code with a variety of languages and libraries. Part 2 (Afternoon) focuses on parallel debugging and performance optimization tools. Participants will inspect and analyze a real application code, profiling its execution and performance. Access to parallel system(s) for the hands-on portions will be provided. NOTE: Bring a laptop and pre-install Eclipse and PTP. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/tutorials/SC12 for installation instructions.
