 C-DAC
High Performance Computing and Communication (HPCC)
software effectively addresses the performance and usability
challenges of clusters through a high performance flexible
software environment.
The HPCC software supports
the development and execution of sequential, message
passing and data parallel programs and allows the ensemble
of workstations to be viewed as independent workstations,
cluster of workstations, or as a massively parallel
processor system.
The HPCC software is
available on clusters with PARAMNet
and supporting Solaris, Linux or AIX operating systems.
A complete solution to create and execute parallel and
distributed programs on UNIX clusters through high performance
communication protocols, a parallel file system and
a rich set of program development, system management
& software engineering tools is provided.
The HPCC software suite
of products includes high performance compilers, parallel
debuggers, data visulisers and performance profilers.
High performance communication protocols and efficient
MPI implementation provide the correct framework to
extract maximum performance.
The
HPCC software consists of
STANDARDS ADHERENCE
C-DAC's HPCC software
follows established standards to minimize learning time
and maximize ease-of-use. Most commands use familiar
UNIX syntax. HPCC software graphical user interfaces
comply with Motif or Java style standards. HPCC's implementation
of the MPI standard closely follows the published standard
and allows programmers to write portable parallel applications
which run on the PARAM systems and other cluster systems
supporting the standard.
