This version has had many enhancements and bug fixes since the 1.1.1 release. Some of the major new features include:
2.0 allows multiple systems to be configured simultaneously. Machine and node status is displayed for each system, and jobs can be launched and debugged onto the different machines from within a single Eclipse session.
Adds support for job schedulers as well as interactive runtime systems. Support for LoadLeveler is included by default. Additional job schedulers (e.g. PBS, LSF, SLURM, etc.) will become available in the future.
In 1.1.1, Eclipse had to be running on the same machine that the parallel job was launched on. In 2.0, Eclipse can be running on your workstation, but you can still monitor, launch and debug applications on remote machines.
For sites that only allow a single ssh connection, 2.0 now adds support for tunneling all proxy and debug traffic across a single connection.
In addition to the per-process windows that display standard out, 2.0 provides a single console window that combines output from all processes into a single view.
Includes a completely re-designed debugger framework, improvements to line markers and marker colors, and tooltip popup display of variables.
All the features of PLDT 2.0, including MPI Barrier analysis and new wizards for conveniently creating MPI and OpenMP project.
PTP can now be completely downloaded and installed from an Eclipse update site.
