Parallelware tools like the Parallelware Trainer and Parallelware Analyzer can help ease HPC software development for POWER systems. The Parallelware Trainer assists with introducing OpenMP and OpenACC directives for parallelization. The Parallelware Analyzer (currently in beta) generates reports to help understand parallelization opportunities in large code bases by analyzing data scoping and memory usage. Future plans include distributing Parallelware tools for POWER systems and certifying them as OpenPOWER Ready to further facilitate HPC software development for these systems.

programming challenges, and can facilitate it for POWER systems too.
○ Parallelware Trainer can help in training for POWER systems using OpenMP
and OpenACC for multicores and GPUs.
● Parallelware Analyzer (BETA) helps to dive into the complexity of
developing HPC codes, covering the computational, control-flow and
memory perspectives
○ Data scoping in big code bases is probably pain point #1
