Develop parallel applications on local systems and deploy to the cloud

The software is distributed as a virtual machine, making it easy to develop and deploy applications to your local grid, private cloud, or even a public cloud.

Develop and test parallel applications easily

The software includes Fortran, C and C++ compilers and powerful analysis and debugging tools with powerful analysis and debugging support. It also comes with sample programs that that speed development. Plus, built-in job scheduling allows you to submit parallel jobs to Solaris zones for low-cost testing.
