 <p>Release 2.0
 <p>The PTP Parallel Language Development Tools (PLDT) provide
 tools to aid in MPI Programming and other parallel languages and tools.
 <br>Features of the PLDT include:
 <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>Content assist via Cntl-Space completes API names
 while typing, and fills in arguments too.
 <li>Hover help shows API names, arguments, and descriptions.
 <li>Reference information about the MPI and OpenMP calls via F1 (Cntl-F1 on Linux; Help key on Mac)

 <li>OpenMP problems view of common errors, OpenMP "show #pragma region" action,
 OpenMP "Show Concurrency" action.
 <li>CDT "New C Project" wizard includes a  wizard page that can
 automatically add in the include paths etc. for MPI projects.

 <p>The newest features (2.0) include:
 <li>MPI Barrier Analysis detects potential deadlocks in MPI applications,
 and shows barrier matches, barrier errors, and paths of all barrier
 matching sets.  Includes detections across multiple functions and source files.
 <li>New project wizard can include sample MPI and OpenMP source files
 and set up the projects to save time.
 <li>New welcome pages introduce new Eclipse users to PLDT.
 <li>New single-menu UI for PLDT analysis features simplifies the editor toolbar.

 <h2>
 Pre-requisites:
 </h2>
 <p>PLDT 2.0 requires the base Eclipse platform, the CDT, and MPI and/or OpenMP.
 <ul>
 <li><b>Eclipse</b> platform: Version  3.3 or later
 <li><b>CDT:</b>
 Version 4.0.2 or later for C/C++ files.  (Wherever CDT is mentioned, Photran projects and files,
 for C/C++, if based on Eclipse 3.3/CDT 4.0.x, should also work, but not much testing has yet been done.)

 <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 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.
