The PTP Parallel Language Development Tools (PLDT) provide
tools to aid in MPI Programming and other parallel languages and tools.
Features of the PLDT include:
The newest features (2.0) include:
PLDT 2.0 requires the base Eclipse platform, the CDT, and MPI and/or OpenMP.
Note that running MPI or OpenMP is not really required for the PLDT to function and provide analysis and help with MPI and OpenMP development. Just the header files are required in order to know which "artifacts" should be located.
To run the core part of PTP (Parallel Tools Platform, http://eclipse.org/ptp, to run and debug parallel programs on the local machine), you need whatever runtime it requires. Currently (2.0, January 2008) this is OpenMPI, which is available for Linux and Mac Only. But for PLDT, this is not required, and PLDT will work on Windows as well.
Basic instructions on installing Eclipse, CDT, PTP, and PLDT from the Eclipse PTP web site.
The following instructions describe setup and run information.
Note: if, after installing PLDT, the PLDT menu icon is misplaced over on the left side
of the Eclipse toolbar:
You can put it in its proper place by selecting Window > Reset Perspective.
