Case Study: STFC Daresbury Laboratory simplifies software development with Perforce TotalView

STFC Daresbury Laboratory simplifies software development with Perforce TotalView across 550 employees

The Science & Technologies Facilities Council (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory needed a comprehensive debugging tool to help its scientists efficiently develop and optimize complex, large-scale parallel applications running on high-end supercomputers like the IBM Blue Gene/P system. Without a high-quality debugger from a vendor like Perforce, development times would be significantly longer and porting code between platforms would be far more difficult.

By implementing Perforce's TotalView debugger, STFC gained a powerful tool that simplified and shortened the software development cycle. The solution provided critical features like a multi-dimensional data array graphical viewer to identify numerical anomalies, leading to improved code quality and stability. This allowed scientists to be more productive, develop better software, and increased STFC's overall competitiveness and opportunities for future projects.
