Rational Team Concert for Power Systems Software Team Collaboration

Connect dispersed development teams Bring all stakeholders together

Business analysts, IT managers, project managers, team leads, developers, and testers

Governance Implement single process for all teams Help teams move towards Agile

development Track development tasks Source Control

Transparency and Reporting Automate project status Traceability (links) between artifacts Team, role, and personalized dashboards

Consolidation and lower costs Single solution for multiple platforms and

languages (Java, IBM i, AIX, PHP, .NET) Single server, database, administration

Single tool for everyone to learn lower training costs

Team Concert Planning is Directly Linked to Execution• NOT just a disconnected spreadsheet

With brittle cross product integration Synchronization issues for admins…backup No web access for non-developers

• NOT just a planning tool

Designed for project leads Not connected to execution of scm and builds No process control of scm, builds

• With Rational Team Concert

Live work load bars show who is overbooked … Live progress status bars show Individual and Team progress

All planning is 100% Web based so all can access it Full process control across both VS.NET and Eclipse teams Engages development in planning to produce better predictability

Work Load Bar

Progress Bar


Web-based Taskboards Increase Team Visibility

See the work in progress or

completed

Drag and drop work items to change

their state.

Show stories linked to a set of

associated tasks and their status


Plan Risk Assessment

Color codes high risk tasks for

quick identification and

action Automatically calculates

probability of task fitting into the

schedule

More detailed developer

estimation.. low, nominal, high


Web Based Project and Portfolio Dashboards


Builds – Extensible Continuous IntegrationRun personal builds to check your changes before sharing them with the team

Create build servers Identify work items and change sets that went into the build

Historical view of the build queue with status

Even reconstruct a work space from a failed build!


Rational Team Concert for Power 2.0What’s new in RTC for Power 2.0:

Integrated Builds for your IBM i Projects

Developer and team builds

Define dependency based builds

Integrated error feedback

The IBM Rational Compilers for Power Systems



IBM Compilers

• Designed to unleash full power of IBM processors

– POWER, System z, and Blue Gene

• Industry leadership in advanced optimization technology

– Over 100 new optimizations introduced in the last 5 years

– Performs in-depth code analysis

– Generates code that exploits all Power systems (including POWER7)

– Support development of parallel/multicore code

• OpenMP (Open Multi-processing) API

• Automatic parallelization by compilers

• Lower total cost of ownership

– Maximize application performance on Power servers

– Increase capacity and performance without hardware upgrades

– Improve programmer productivity and shorten development cycles

– Modernize legacy applications


Platform: IBM POWER

Problem: Parallelize outer product vector multiply by programmer

#define N 100#define M 100double v1[M], v2[N], A[M][N];

void OuterProduct() { int i,j; for (i=0; i < M; i++) { for (j=0; j < N; j++) { A[i][j] = v1[i]*v2[j]; } }}

int main() { // Initialize v1 // Initialize v2 OuterProduct(); return 0;}

#include <pthread.h>#define N 12#define M 12#define NUM_THREADS 4double v1[M], v2[N], A[M][N];void *OuterProduct(void *arg) { int i,j, chunk = M/NUM_THREADS; int threadId = *((int *) arg); int for (i=threadId*chunk; i < threadId*chunk+chunk; i++) { for (j=0; j < N; j++) { A[i][j] = v1[i]*v2[j]; } }}int main() { int I, rc, threadId[NUM_THREADS]; pthread_t threads[NUM_THREADS]; // Initialize v1 // Initialize v2 for (i=0; i < NUM_THREADS; i++) { threadId[i] = i; rc = pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, OuterProduct, &threadId[i]); if (rc != 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error creating thread\n"); exit(1); } } for (i=0; i < NUM_THREADS; i++) pthread_join(threads[i], NULL); return 0;}

#define N 100#define M 100double v1[M], v2[N], A[M][N];

void OuterProduct() { int i,j;#pragma omp parallel for for (i=0; i < M; i++) { for (j=0; j < N; j++) { A[i][j] = v1[i]*v2[j]; } }}

int main() { // Initialize v1 // Initialize v2 OuterProduct(); return 0;}

Example: Programming for Multicore (Manual)
