Features and Benefits
Features Benefits
Highly-optimized C, C++ and Fortran compilers with auto-parallelization features

Allows developers to maximize application performance on the latest Sun UltraSPARC, Fujitsu SPARC-64, Intel x86 and AMD x86-based systems

Code-level debugger

Proves to be the most stable debugger in the industry for Sun Studio and GCC produced binaries. Available via the command-line, IDE, and new standalone graphical debugger (dbxTool). Scriptable, multi-thread aware and feature-rich, with an easy-to-use graphical interface

Memory debugger (Runtime Checking)

Provides memory leak, access, and usage information to track down difficult bugs

Thread analysis tool (Thread Analyzer)

Identifies race and deadlock conditions in multithreaded code

Application profiling tool (Performance Analyzer)

Highlights application performance bottlenecks using system metrics, such as timing, hardware counters, and more that roll up into an easy-to-understand source code view. In addition to profiling shared memory applications, the Performance Analyzer now adds profiling functionality for distributed MPI-based applications based on a wide variety of MPI runtimes, including Sun HPC ClusterTools software

System profiling tool (DLight)

Allows you to explore your system, understand how it works and track down performance problems across many software layers. DLight unifies application and system profiling using Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) technology on Solaris platforms and helps significantly reduce development timelines

Full OpenMP 3.0 compiler, debugger and tools support

Simplifies the creation of OpenMP 3.0 based applications

Highly tuned and parallelized scientific libraries (Sun Performance Library)

Increases application performance with enhanced and newly added standard routines including, including BLAS, LAPACK, FFTPACK, SuperLU, SparsePAK, ScaLAPACK

Update IDE, based on NetBeans 6.5.1 software

Enhances developer productivity with with new features specifically geared for C/C++ developers, including improved code completion, error highlighting, semantic highlighting, call graph, memory window, packaging of application as tar files, zip files, SVR4 packages, RPMs, or Debian packages, and much more
