Welcome to Virtual Programming Lab!


Welcome to the Virtual Programming Lab (VPL). VPL enables you to do HPF and MPI programming on NPAC's workstation clusters using a Web interface. You will not need to log in to a Unix account or type any Unix commands.

Directory Manager

Allows you to manage your user directory, edit and/or view the lab files. Editing is done within the Web window.

MPI Lab

Compile C, Fortran 77, or Java code with calls to the message passing interface (MPI) library and run the resulting executables on NPAC's Sun Ultra cluster.

HPF Lab

Compile Fortran 90 or HPF codes using PGI's compilers and run the resulting executables on also NPAC's Sun Ultra cluster.
