This is more applicable to when students start working on Solaris/OpenSolaris apps...
Our free tools- Sun Studio 10, which builds OpenSolaris, and Sun Studio 11 could be used in conjunction with this. Besides the optimizing compilers, it includes a graphical debugger and code-level performance analysis tools. With the importance of creating multithreading applications, it also provides numerous tools for multithreaded development (OpenMP/Posix/Solaris thread support, debugger support for threads, analsysis of thread performance, etc.) Sun Studio 11 will be included in the Solaris 10 Update 1 media kit. I can help provide our multilingual Sun Studio 11 media as well. /kso Kuldip Oberoi Product Line Manager, Sun Studio Sun Microsystems, Inc. 650.786.0149 (x80149) Max Bruning wrote: >Hi, > >This week in Beijing, Sun held an OpenSolaris Internals >Workshop for a group of 25 Computer Science professors from >various universities within China.
