Salt Lake City, UT, 2012-11-19, Allinea Software today announced immediate availability of debugging support in Allinea DDT for the latest NVIDIA Tesla K20 family of GPU accelerators, based on the Kepler architecture, and the recently released NVIDIA CUDA 5 toolkit.

Allinea DDT adopted in major refresh at new supercomputing center

Lugano, Switzerland, 2012-09-11, the Swiss national supercomputing center recently opened a new state of the art facility – with lake-water cooled computing systems – and are refreshing their development tools by moving to Allinea DDT.

SAN JOSE, Calif., 2012-05-22, Allinea Software today announced the launch of a new Allinea DDT CUDA Education pack, developed with experienced computer science lecturers to provide an exciting addition to CUDA lecture courses – the art of debugging CUDA.

Allinea DDT – the debugger of choice for the world’s most powerful supercomputer.

Champaign, Illinois, 2012-05-14 – The Blue Waters project is now well underway with a completion date of Fall 2012. As one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, its immense computational power and stability will allow scientists to make breakthroughs in a diverse range of fields. Allinea DDT is the debugger they call on to help them fix their bugs at full scale and exploit the maximum computational power.

The Blue Waters machine aims to deliver breakthroughs in nearly all areas of science and engineering – to enable discoveries into real-world science and engineering, from astrophysics to DNA, from earthquakes to epidemics. The technologies used on Blue Waters will be the bridge to those that future supercomputers will be built on. The project is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the University of Illinois and the state of Illinois. Cray is installing the main computational and on-line storage systems at the National Petascale Computing Facility (NPCF) in Champaign.

Ease of use and performance at scale leaps again with release of Allinea DDT 3.1.

Warwick UK, 31^st January 2012, Allinea Software today announced the release of the latest version of Allinea DDT, version 3.1 and a set of novel features designed to both simplify and enable debugging of parallel and multithreaded applications.

• Sparklines – a new zero-click graphical comparison across processes that automatically show data values across processes.
• New offline mode allowing you to debug while you sleep – ideal for those machines that are hard to get interactive time on at scale.
• Scalable tracepoints that provide a fast and scalable alternative to using printf/write for debugging. 
• Always-on static analysis – for auto-detection of common programming errors.
• Support for Co-array Fortran and UPC.
• Support for NVIDIA CUDA 4.0 and 4.1 toolkits – within days of NVIDIA's CUDA 4.1 toolkit release.

We were delighted to see so many people stop by our booth at SC11 in Seattle, allowing us to showcase our fantastic debugging products.

Here are few of our many highlights from the week: 

• Allinea DDT 3.1 was launched and demos were given of Allinea DDT and Allinea OPT 

Warwick, United Kingdom, 2010-11-17 – Allinea Software (www.allinea.com), the leading supplier of software development tools for high performance computing (HPC), has announced the availability of Allinea DDT 2.6.1, which supports versions 3.1 and 3.2 of the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit and has been beta tested for several weeks.

Warwick, United Kingdom, 2010-11-10 – Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) - a multi-program science and technology laboratory managed for the U.S. Department of Energy - has once again selected Allinea Software as its collaboration partner. As the leading supplier of software development tools for high performance computing (HPC), Allinea’s market leading solution Allinea DDT has now been chosen as the debugger of choice for Hybrid GPU software - where few industry-strength tools exist.
