Sun HPC ClusterTools 7.1 is an update release based on Open MPI 1.2.4. Included in Sun HPC ClusterTools 7.1 are Intel 32- and 64-bit support, improved parallel debugger support, PBS Pro validation, improved memory usage for communication, and other bug fixes by the Open MPI community since Open MPI 1.2 was first released.
Sun HPC ClusterTools 7.1 is the best integrated parallel development environment available on the market today. It enables customers to run their complex, compute-intensive applications on Sun systems and clusters of Sun systems.
Sun HPC ClusterTools 7.1 software is an integrated toolkit that allows developers to create and tune Message-passing Interface (MPI) applications that run on high performance clusters and SMPs. Sun HPC ClusterTools software offers a comprehensive set of capabilities for parallel computing.

Parallel Development
To enhance parallel application environment Sun HPC ClusterTools includes the following:
Open MPI Message Passing Interface (OMPI) is an open source implementation of MPI. OMPI is fully compliant with Message Passing Interface 2 standard including complete MPI I/O implementation and one-sided communications between MPI processes.
Open Run-Time Environment (ORTE) provides a basic set of parallel job management facilities, and includes plug-in modules to support:
- The Sun Grid Engine - allows parallel jobs to be launched and maximizes the utilization of shared resources.
- The Portable Batch System (PBS) - a job scheduler that allocates network resources to batch jobs on networked, multi-platform environments.
