Sun HPC Software, Developer Edition 1.0 for OpenSolaris is a pre-configured, integrated development environment (IDE) to enable developers to quickly and efficiently create, debug and deploy parallel applications. Certified on OpenSolaris, it takes advantage of virtualization for easy installation and seamlessly integrates with a cloud environment for scalability. This full-featured HPC development environment is distributed as a virtual machine (VM) that is pre-configured, grid enabled and a virtual HPC cluster comprised of three OpenSolaris zones.

It includes a small, two execute-node grid that can be used to test the applications before being deployed on real-time grids. Plus, it supports connectivity to public computing clouds (such as Amazon's EC2), in case additional computing resources are required.

A quick list of what is provided in this software:

• Fully featured HPC development environment distributed as a virtual machine (VM) so software development is separated from the underlying operating system of the laptop or system, translating into a quicker and easier installation.

• Pre-configured as a grid enabled, virtual HPC cluster comprised of three OpenSolaris zones, allowing users to develop and test parallel applications on a local system without involving an HPC cluster until the program is ready.

• Turn-key parallel application development environment with distributed resource management and cloud connectivity built in (Amazon EC2 cloud ready).

• Sun Studio and Sun HPC ClusterTools come pre-installed and configured, providing Fortran, C and C++ compilers, MPI libraries, performance analysis and debugging tools, high performance scientific libraries and an intuitive IDE for application development.

• Sample applications are included in the installation to get up and running quickly.

The free download of Sun HPC Software, Developer Edition 1.0 for OpenSolaris includes OpenSolaris 2009.06, Sun Studio 12 Update 1, Sun HPC ClusterTools 8.1 and Sun Grid Engine 6.3.
