Get eclipse and PTP in, iff feasible, for debugging purposes

[fgeorgatos]

Since it is open source and some people could be using it indeed, it may be a huge plus: http://www.eclipse.org/ptp/

I am not a huge java supporter, but the following would be a decent IDE for supporting languages that are popular in HPC (along with being the only parallel gdb configuration with some references I know of); in their own words:

Eclipse PTP

The PTP project provides an integrated development environment to support the development of parallel applications written in C, C++, and Fortran. Eclipse PTP provides:

• Support for the MPI, OpenMP and UPC programming models, as well as OpenSHMEM and OpenACC
• Support for a wide range of batch systems and runtime systems, including PBS/Torque, LoadLeveler, GridEngine, Parallel Environment, Open MPI, and MPICH2
• A scalable parallel debugger
• Support for the integration of a wide range of parallel tools

These fellows seem to be using it already and some extra info can found there:

just realized while downloading extrae that it is integrated with eclipse/ptp; can we put this one tick higher? http://www.bsc.es/computer-sciences/performance-tools/downloads

Other performance tools (TAU, Scalasca, Periscope) have Eclipse/PTP plugins as well.
