Updating the survey of parallel tools
Doreen Y. Cheng
In response to many requests, I will be updating my NASA report titled
"A Survey of Parallel Programming Tools". The objective of the new report
is to help industry, computing centers, as well as users select tools
to assist their parallel program development. I intend to include new tools,
new features of old tools, and experiences of using some of the tools in
the report. If your tool is included in my previous survey report, you can
choose to tell me just what have been changed since then. If you know
someone who may provide information, please feel free to forward this message.
If you would like to provide me a summary information at your site, you
are welcome to do so.
Your help will be greatly appreciated and will be explicitly acknowledged in
the report. You can provide information either as tool developers, or
tool users, or both.
If you would like to have your tools included in the report, please
provide the following information.
Name of the tool
A list of functions, features (briefly describe each)
Platform on which the tool runs
Operating system required

Cost: (per workstation
