White Papers
Allinea has published a number of white papers on the topic of development tools for parallel computing. We hope you will find them interesting and useful.
- Debugging CUDA with Allinea DDT - we introduce CUDA enabled DDT - with a helpful walkthrough of DDT on a real CUDA code, giving an overview of the features that make CUDA debugging easy in DDT.
- Using DDT to Debug Applications on the IBM Cell BE Processor - this paper introduces DDT for the Cell processor and shows how many of the easy to use features within DDT can really simplify the task of working with this novel and powerful architecture. An abridged version, Using DDT to clean up Cell/B.E. app bugs is also published on IBM developerWorks here.
- Using OPT to Profile Applications on the IBM Cell BE Processor - we show how our profiling tool OPT has been extended to profile the Cell processor. OPT provides a powerful way to discover where both SPU and PPU resources are being used which is essential for optimizing your applications.
- Parallel Debugging is Easy - introducing Allinea's DDTLite, a new companion product to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, that plugs in to Visual Studio to enable parallel and multithreaded debugging. We show that sometimes, debugging can be easier in parallel than it is for one process!
