The aim of the parallel tools platform project is to produce an open-source
industry-strength platform that provides a highly integrated environment
specifically designed for parallel application development. The project will
provide:

- a standard, portable parallel IDE that supports a wide range of parallel
architectures and run-time systems
- a scalable parallel debugger
- support for the integration of a wide range of parallel tools
- an environment that simplifies the end-user interaction with parallel
systems

This package contains the main PTP run-time features.
