NEW! PDF of the tutorial slides is here: (this supercedes what will be on the SC10 tutorials USB stick): ptp-sc10-tutorial.pdf

This year we are requesting that tutorial participants pre-install Eclipse on their laptops before attending.

Some alternatives for those unable to pre-install Eclipse may be available.

Short version of instructions

  • You need Java - Sun or IBM versions (not Linux's GCJ) - see Installing Java for more information
  • Download one of the following from http://eclipse.org/downloads (This is Eclipse 3.6, also known as "Helios")
    • "Eclipse Classic" has many generic Eclipse features including Java and Plug-In Development features
    • "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers" has ONLY what you need for basic C/C++ Development (CDT) and is a smaller download and less cluttered environment.
  • Unzip/untar and execute the "eclipse" executable
  • Help > Install New Software...
  • Next to the "Work with:" Select the "Helios" Site - it will then populate the list of Eclipse features that you can install. Install at least the following:
    • If you did NOT install the "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers", select this feature to install now:
      • Under "Programming Languages" check "C/C++ Development Tools" (CDT)
    • Select the PTP and RDT features to install
      • Under "General Purpose Tools" check two items: "Parallel Tools Platform (PTP) End-User Runtime" and "PTP Remote Development Tools (RDT)"
      • Also suggested: PTP Parallel Language Development Tools UPC Support
        • Installation of this will automatically pull in the UPC support in CDT as well.
  • Click Next > and on the "Install Details" page confirm that you have the two (or three) items you checked.
  • Click Next > and accept the license agreement, then click Finish
  • You will be prompted to restart Eclipse.
  • PTP 4.0.4 has now been released; do Help > Check for updates to update your Eclipse to the latest PTP.
