Tools
This is a preliminary list of programming tools
that (hopefully) will be available on the new IBM supercomputer.
Without any rating as to ease of use, or even usefulness.
- xxlf, a graphical interface to the Fortran compiler.
- pdbx the parallel version of dbx (line-oriented).
- pedb the parallel debugger (window-oriented) - this program has been removed as of PE version 3.2
- totalview for debugging parallel applications.
- gprof, for profiling your code.
- xprofiler, for profiling your code.
(A visual interface to the
gprofcommand.) - vt, trace visualization tool - this program has been removed as of PE version 3.2
- hpmcount, for performance analysis of your code (displays hardware performance counters).
- hpmviz, for visualizing the hardware performance of your program.
- monitor displays what is going on in the machine - this is based on the classic program of Jussi Mäki.
- nmon displays what is going on in the machine - Nigel's monitor for multiprocessor IBMs.
- topas, yet another monitoring tool (provided by IBM)
