Oracle Solaris Studio at Oracle OpenWorld / Develop 2010

I, and other folks from the Oracle Solaris Studio team, will be at Oracle Develop during Oracle OpenWorld 2010 in San Francisco this week. Come learn more about Oracle Solaris Studio and tell us about your development tooling needs and how Oracle Solaris Studio is working for you. Please stop by!

1. Pod: Oracle Solaris Studio at the JavaOne & Oracle Develop Exhibition

Hilton Hotel – Continental Ballroom (HHJ 007)

• Monday (9:15am-5pm)
• Tuesday (9:30am-5:30pm)
• Wednesday (9:30-4:45pm)

2. Session: Multicore Application Programming with Oracle Solaris Studio [S317573]

Monday (9/20), 4pm, Hotel Nikko, Nikko Ballroom I

“Writing correct and fast parallel applications is often considered a hard problem. However, it doesn’t need to be that way. This session will describe how Oracle Solaris Studio can be used to produce applications that are both fast and correct. The talk will cover parallelization strategies, implementation details, and common pitfalls, as well as describing how the tools provided by Oracle Solaris Studio can identify coding errors and performance opportunities in the application.”

Speaker: Darryl Gove, Oracle Performance Analyst

3. Session: Performance Measurement with Oracle Solaris Studio Performance Tools [S317590]

Tuesday (9/21), 11:30am, Hotel Nikko, Peninsula

“In this session, we’ll first describe the importance of performance, how tell if there’s a problem, and how to triage it. We’ll describe the Oracle Solaris Studio Performance Tools and show how they simplify the triaging problem. We’ll then present two simple cases of low-handing fruit in applications, showing how the tools help isolate each type of problem and pointing to the place in the user’s source code where the fixes are needed. We’ll move on to explore CPU and memory performance problems, memory allocation issues, and multithreaded performance problems, in each case showing how the tools can help. Finally, we’ll discuss the applicability of the tools to measuring Java performance.”

Speaker: Marty Itzkowitz, Oracle Senior Principal SW Engineer

4. Unconference Session: Solaris Studio

Wednesday (9/22), 11am, Hotel Parc 55, Ashbury CF

5. Session: Building High-Quality C/C++ Applications [S317585]

Wednesday (9/22), 1pm, Hotel Nikko, Nikko Ballroom II

“There are many challenges for native language developers, such as multicore development, heterogeneous OS development, and compatibility. Oracle Solaris Studio delivers a high-performance C/C++ and Fortran tool chain with parallelizing compilers, code-level and memory debuggers, performance and thread analysis tools, optimized math libraries, and support for the latest parallelizing industry standards. With a next-generation IDE, developing and debugging applications for the multicore era has never been easier. This session will demonstrate how Oracle Solaris Studio addresses the challenges in our industry by addressing the four pillars of application development: performance, parallelism, productivity, and platforms.”

Speaker: Don Kretsch, Oracle Senior Director
