We are conducting an HPC Tools Survey - all registered HPCx users can fill it in online. Just go to https://www.hpcx.ac.uk/, login to the admin website and click "Tools Survey". The survey has now been extended - it will close on 8 January 2007. Don't miss your chance of a free Amazon voucher worth 20 pounds! The purpose of this survey is to discover what software development tools users employ for their computational science research on a range of different systems: on their laptop or desktop; on medium scale parallel machines provided at departmental or university level; on national supercomputers such as HPCx. The aim is to find out what tools are actually used on HPCx, what tools it would be useful to install on HPCx, and what gaps there are in the availability of tools on high-end supercomputers. As an incentive, we will be offering prizes of two 20-pound Amazon vouchers. After the survey closes we will pick the two winners randomly from the list of users who completed the survey. Please note that the survey comprises a number of separate sections and that you must press the appropriate "Submit" button >>>at the end of every section.<<< Each section can be completed independently and you can return to the survey many times to fill in empty sections or modify your answers.
