Supported Platforms
The VI-HPS tools support a variety of platforms. To know whether a tool supports a specific platform, please consult the tool's webpages. During our tuning workshops, the host organization usually offers access to a local computing resources, where all tools covered in the workshop are installed. However, you are free to use any other platform you have access to, where the tools are installed. The list of platforms include:
- IBM BlueGene/P (JSC Jugene): PowerPC 450 quad-core processors, BG-Linux compute kernel, IBM BG-MPI library, IBM BG-XL compilers
