The HP XC system provides an environment that enables developing, building, and running applications using multiple nodes with multiple cores. These applications can range from parallel applications using many cores to serial applications using a single core.
Parallel Applications |
 |
The HP XC parallel application development environment allows parallel application processes to be started and stopped together on a large number of application processors, along with the I/O and process control structures to manage these kinds of applications.
Full details and examples of how to build, run, debug, and troubleshoot parallel applications are provided in “Developing Parallel Applications”.
Serial Applications |
 |
You can build and run serial applications under the HP XC development environment. A serial application is a command or application that does not use any form of parallelism.
Full details and examples of how to build, run, debug, and troubleshoot serial applications are provided in “Building Serial Applications”.
