Abstract

Few portable programming environments exist to support the labour-intensive process of application development for parallel systems. Popular stand-alone tools for analysis, restructuring, debugging and performance optimisation have not been successfully combined to create integrated development environments.In the ESPRIT project FITS we have created such a toolset, based upon commercial and research tools, for parallel application development. Component tools are loosely coupled; with little modification, they may invoke functions from other components. Thus integration comes at minimal cost to the vendor, who retains vital product independence. The FITS interface is publically available and the toolset is easily extensible.
