Parallel Adviser
Team
Dev: Nick Krasilnikov (NK; NB nick: nnnnnk)
Lead: Vladimir Voskresensky (VV; NB nick: vv159170)
Charter
Add support for shared-memory parallel programming in NetBeans to development of multi-threaded applications and transformation of single-treaded applications to multi-threaded.
Goals
Defining:
- Notifications about abilities for parallelization
- Parallel adviser view
Target:
- OpenMP Editor Support
Nice to have:
- Performance comparison view
No P1 or P2 issues, P3 issues < 10.
User View
Metrics
- Functionality is implemented: Yes/No
- Number of P1/P2/P3 issues.

Ideas
Profiler based advises
One processor used + no threads support => advice
OpenMP Support
Highlighting, completion.
MPI Plugin
Toolchain.
Configuration.
Templates and code generation
Parallel "for", etc...
- Open MP
- pthreads
- std::thread
- win32 threads
Parallel calculator
Calculate parallel acceleration, etc. for some models.
Samples
2d FFT
Fractals
Overview
Existent tools:
- "IDE support for parallel programming" in VS 2010
- Intel Parallel Adviser
VS 2010
- Library for parallel programming
- Debugger allows to chose politics for stopping threads on breakpoint
- MultiStack - Graph that represents all call stacks
- TaskList - List of states for all tasks
- Concurrency Analysis - view for core utilization + basic timing measurements
- Tread Execution - view with statistics for each thread
