GPGPUs, FPGAs, Clearspeed). Programming these machines optimally presents a number of challenges, and applications that use a mixed programming models are now becoming commonplace. In this presentation we will discuss the challenges facing today's HPC application developers, and the need for simple tools that can address mixed programming models. We will present new multicore features of Allinea's Distributed Debugging Tool (DDT) and Op...
