| <h1> <img src="images/mpiLg.gif">PTP Parallel Language Development Tools </h1> |
| <p>This page is out of date. For more information on |
| PLDT, see the PTP Help on the <a href="http://eclipse.org/ptp/doc.php">PTP doc page</a> |
| <p>Version 1.1 |
| <p>The PTP Parallel Language Development Tools Eclipse plug-in provides |
| tools to aid in MPI Programming and other parallel languages and tools. |
| <ul> |
| <li>Analysis of C and C++ code to determine the location of MPI and OpenMP Artifacts |
| <li>"Artifact View" indicates locations of Artifacts found |
| in source code |
| <li>Navigation to source code location of artifacts |
| <li>Reference information about the MPI and OpenMP calls via F1 (Cntl-F1 on Linux; Help key on Mac) |
| <li>Content assist via Cntl-Space |
| <li>Hover help |
| <p>The newest features include: |
| <li>OpenMP problems view of common errors, OpenMP "show #pragma region" action, |
| OpenMP "Show Concurrency" action. |
| <li>CDT "New Managed Make C Project" wizard includes a new wizard page that can |
| automatically add in the include paths etc. for MPI projects. |
| </ul> |
| <h2> |
| Pre-requisites: |
| </h2> |
| <p>This plug-in requires the base Eclipse platform, the CDT, and MPI and/or OpenMP. |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Eclipse</b> platform: Version 3.2 or later |
| <li><b>CDT:</b> |
| Version 3.1 or later for C/C++ files. (Wherever CDT is mentioned, Photran projects and files, |
| for C/C++, should also work) |
| |
| <li><b>MPI:</b> |
| Get MPI and its header file, a version that runs on |
| your system (e.g. OpenMPI for Linux/Mac; MPICH2 for win32) |
| <ul> |
| <li>Make sure it's in your path |
| <li>You may need to install it in a directory such that there are no spaces in the path |
| (that is, not in 'Program Files' etc.) |
| </ul> |
| <li><b>OpenMP:</b> |
| The PTP PLDT OpenMP tools also need the OpenMP header file, similar to the MPI |
| pre-requisites above. |
| |
| </ul> |
| <p>Note that <i>running</i> 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. |
| <p>To run the core part of PTP (Parallel Tools Platform, <a href="http://eclipse.org/ptp">http://eclipse.org/ptp</a>, |
| to run and debug parallel programs), you need whatever runtime it requires. Currently |
| (November 2006) 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. |
