SI2-SSI: A Productive and Accessible Development Workbench for HPC Applications Using the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform

随着超级计算机变得更强大，它们也变得更加复杂。为了利用增加的能力，在这些超级计算机上运行的科学应用程序将不得不变得更加复杂，并将不得不利用更多的处理核心。即使是那些擅长优化这些应用程序的人也很快就会不知所措。高性能计算应用程序工作台(W-HPC)项目正在改变这些专家开发、调试、优化和运行应用程序的方式。使用Eclipse平台，W-HPC提供了一种健壮且可移植的方式来管理一系列研究学科的计算科学和工程代码开发。W-HPC还包括一个有针对性的教育和外展计划，包括与少数群体服务机构的外展，这些机构将培训新用户，解释使用基于Eclipse的工具的优势，并鼓励用户参与新工具的开发。下一代Petascale系统将在解决重大挑战问题时赋予科学界前所未有的力量。然而，为了利用潜在的巨大性能改进，随着项目变得多机构和多学科，应用程序的规模和复杂性将大幅增加。高性能计算应用程序工作台项目正在改变社区开发、调试、优化和运行其应用程序的方式。作为该项目的一部分，Eclipse并行工具平台(Eclipse PTP)正在得到增强。Eclipse PTP提供了一个开放源码的、健壮的、可移植的和可持续的开发环境，适合与各种科学代码一起使用。有针对性的教育和外联活动也是该项目的一部分。他们将培训新用户，解释使用基于Eclipse的工具的优势，并鼓励用户参与新工具的开发。

As supercomputers become more powerful, they become more complex. In order to take advantage of the increased power, scientific applications that run on these supercomputers will have to become more complex and will have to take advantage of more processing cores. Even those who are expert at optimizing these applications are quickly being overwhelmed. The Workbench for HPC Applications (W-HPC) project is transforming the way these experts develop, debug, optimize, and run their applications. Using the Eclipse platform, W-HPC provides a robust and portable way to manage computational science and engineering code development for a range of research disciplines. W-HPC also includes a targeted education and outreach program including outreach to minority-serving institutions that will train new users, explain the advantages of using Eclipse-based tools, and encourage users participate in the development of new tools.The next generation of petascale systems will give unprecedented power to the scientific community as they tackle grand challenge problems. However, in order to take advantage of the huge potential performance improvements, application size and complexity will increase substantially as projects become multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary. The Workbench for HPC Applications project is transforming the way the community develops, debugs, optimizes, and runs its applications. As part of the project, the Eclipse Parallel Tools Platform (Eclipse PTP) is being enhanced. Eclipse PTP provides an open source, robust, portable, and sustainable development environment suitable for use with a broad range of scientific codes. Targeted education and outreach activities are also part of the project. They will train new users, explain the advantages of using Eclipse-based tools, and encourage users participate in the development of new tools.
