New cost-effective OpenHPEC LX software toolkit features Arm (formerly Allinea) DDT debugger and profiler
ASHBURN, Va. – January 5, 2018 – Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions division today introduced a new version of its award-winning OpenHPEC™ Accelerator Suite software toolkit targeting the needs of system integrators designing multi-core-based ISR and EW applications intended for deployment on smaller systems. OpenHPEC Accelerator Suite LX (OpenHPEC LX) provides tailored tools derived from the original OpenHPEC Accelerator Suite, the industry’s first set of development tools to bring best-of-class open architecture APIs and tools from the Commercial HPC market to COTS system integrators.
OpenHPEC LX provides the user with a system controller/manager that configures the system and simplifies the management and synchronizing of software across multiple independent nodes. It features ARM’s (formerly Allinea) DDT debugger and profiler to provide High-Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC) system integrators with advanced capabilities for debugging and optimization of multi-threaded software. OpenHPEC LX greatly improves time-to-deployment with powerful tools such as System Framework Bit and Data Flow. While the original full-featured OpenHPEC Accelerator Suite is ideal for developing and debugging large systems (>4 nodes), the new OpenHPEC LX is designed specifically for use with small HPEC systems ranging in size from 1 to 4 nodes. This powerful software toolkit enables system integrators to speed and ease the development of supercomputing-class systems for demanding applications such as radar processing, image processing, sensor processing SIGINT, ISR, and EW.
“Our original OpenHPEC Accelerator Suite of HPEC software tools, recently recognized by Military and Aerospace Electronics magazine with its prestigious Platinum Innovators Award, was the first to bring proven commercial HPC market development solutions to the COTS defense market, “ said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President, and General Manager, Defense Solutions division. “Now, with our new cost-effective OpenHPEC LX we are bringing this same breakthrough approach to developers of small-scale embedded software clusters to help drive an easier and faster development cycle.”
