Features and Benefits
Distributed as virtual machine Software development separated from the underlying operating system of your laptop or system. Quick and easy installation.

Three Solaris zones are part of the development environment Develop and test parallel applications on your local system without involving an HPC cluster until the program is ready.

Job scheduling is integrated with the IDE (Integrated Develoment Environment). Job submission no longer involves complicated command line entries. Just a few clicks in the IDE and your job is submitted.

Amazon EC2 cloud ready Once you need more scalability than your local system, submit your program to the Amazon EC2 cloud for low-cost scalability.

Powerful compilers and tools needed to create and tune high performance applications included Sun Studio and Sun HPC ClusterTools come pre-installed and configured, providing Fortran, C and C++ compilers, MPI libraries, performance analysis and debugging tools, high performance scientific libraries and an intuitive IDE for application development. This means only one IDE to learn and a low learning curve to get started.

Sample applications are included to get you up and running quickly Included example programs lower the barrier to parallel application development with the software and get you up and running quickly.
