HITACHI CHOOSES TOTAL VIEW TO RUN ON SR8000 SUPERCOMPUTER.Etnus, the leading supplier of parallel application debuggers for the high performance computing community, has announced that the TotalView debugger/analyzer was selected for use on Hitachi SR8000 high performance computing systems, three of which are ranked in the top ten on the TOP500 Supercomputer Sites A compilation of the 500 most powerful computers and their installations was started in 1993 and is updated twice a year. Intended to detect trends and provide reliable tracking of high-performance computing systems, the list uses the Linpack benchmark to evaluate performance and rank the list compiled by the University of Mannheim The University of Mannheim is one of the younger German universities. Though it sees its roots back to the Kurpfälzische Akademie der Wissenschaften of 1763, the actual university was founded in 1907 as college for economics. and University of Tennessee The University of Tennessee (UT), sometimes called the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UT Knoxville or UTK), is the flagship institution of the statewide land-grant University of Tennessee public university system in the American state of Tennessee. . "TotalView was initially designed for use on supercomputers," comments Chris Doelhert, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Etnus. "We continue to expand our presence and reach into the High Performance Computing community. Clearly good software development tools are viewed as critical components to systems purchased for software development." Hitachi SR8000 systems are currently installed in the Leibniz Rechenzentrum in Munich, Germany, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization in Tsukaba, Japan and the University of Tokyo “Todai” redirects here. For the restaurant called Todai, see Todai (restaurant). The University of Tokyo (東京大学 in Tokyo, Japan. The German system is the fastest supercomputer in Europe and ranked fifth on the TOP500 list. Ranked sixth on the TOP500 list and the top performing system in Japan is the Hitachi 100-processor system at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization. The SR8000 Series, or Super Technical Server, is the successor to Hitachi's vector supercomputer S-3000 and parallel computer SR2201.The first Hitachi SR8000 system was installed at the Institute of Statistical Mathematica at in Tokyo in December 1998. Since then, Hitachi has installed other SR8000 systems resulting in their obtaining 44% share in the Japanese high performance market. TotalView is the only multiprocess, multithread application debugger/analyzer that supports Fortran, C and C++ languages along with the major parallel programming paradigms A programming paradigm is a fundamental style of programming regarding how solutions to problems are to be formulated in a programming language. (Compare with a methodology, which is a style of solving specific software engineering problems). including MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface , threads, and OpenMP. GUI-based, it shortens development time via an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use "select-and-dive" approach. It enables developers to unravel and control multiple threads and processes running on single or multiple processor systems. |
