Abstract

PC clusters running Windows NT have been investigated as a low-cost alternative to parallel computers. One important reason why NT clusters are not broadly accepted yet is the lack of powerful development environments, which are a crucial success factor for software development projects. This paper presents the new Windows NT version of TRAPPER, an integrated development and visualization environment for parallel systems. Emphasis is put on a new component called the project workspace tool. Project workspaces enable user-friendly interaction with all components and settings required for the development of a parallel application. They automate many repetitive tasks that are typical to parallel system development.
