Abstract

This paper presents the recent development of the environment of on-line tools for parallel programming support, based on a universal monitoring system, the OCM, which is built in compliance with the OMIS specification. Issues covered include enhancements needed both at the monitoring level and at the user interface level in order to achieve full tool support for message-passing parallel applications, and to enable interoperability of tools. We focus on the evolution of the environment towards support for performance analysis of MPI applications, and interoperability of two tools: the PATOP performance analyzer and the DETOP debugger. We also outline perspectives for further research to extend the environment’s capabilities to support other parallel programming paradigms.
