November 8, 2010 at 09:30Research "Market Overview of Tools for the Development of Multi-Core Applications" of the German Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering
At the end of October 2010, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) released its study “Market overview of tools for multicore software development”. IAO is an organization based in Stuttgart (Germany) that studies technology management issues.
The detailed report report on 259 pages contains all the tools that may be useful in the development of multi-core solutions. Classifications of tools are given, tasks to be solved are indicated. The study is of undoubted interest for those who are either already developing or planning to develop applications for several cores.
How is all this remarkable?
First, of course, Intel products in this study are presented in full.
Well, and secondly, from Russia, only one team got into this document. This is the team making the PVS-Studio product with its set of rules for diagnosing errors in OpenMP code. We will rejoice for the Russian team, but for now I will list the tools that participated in the study:
- Acumem ThreadSpotter, Acumem
- Akka, Scalable Solutions AB
- Allinea DDT, Allinea Software
- Pervasive DataRush, Pervasive Software
- Enterprise Architect, SparxSystems Central Europe
- GPI, Fraunhofer ITWM
- IESE Simulink partitioner, Fraunhofer IESE
- IntelR Ct Technology, Intel Corporation
- JProfiler, ej-technologies GmbH
- Offload: Community Edition, Codeplay Software Ltd
- PGI Suite, The Portland Group
- Poly-Platform, PolyCore Software
- Prism, CriticalBlue
- PVS-Studio, Program Verification Systems Co. Ltd ( yo-ho! )
- SAMG, Fraunhofer SCAI
- Scalasca, Forschungszentrum Julich
- Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft
- Zoom, RotateRight LLC
The document itself is in English, but easy to read. Since the file is not available before filling out the form, I will give a brief summary:
- Introduction.
- Multicore Software Engineering.
- Multicore Software Development Tools.
- Market Study.
- Tools
- The MWare Project (own study of the authors of the study).
- Vendor View (promotional materials for tool developers).
You can download the study after filling out a short questionnaire.
