Indy(tm) DevStation

Software development is becoming increasingly complex. Today's development environments demand more than standard UNlX(r) tools to manage the complex tasks at hand.

Introducing the Indy DevStation

The Indy DevStation is a powerful computing platform that combines the performance of the Indy desktop workstation with the power of Silicon Graphics(r) visual software development tools. DevStation is preconfigured with the IRIS(r) Development Option (IDO) and CASEVision/ WorkShop(tm), and allows for easy addition of other Silicon Graphics and third party software tools.

The entire CASEVision environment is integrated, and provides a highly productive tool suite. CASEVision enables developers to visualize their code, resulting in faster problem resolution and easier management of large, complex development problems.

A Complete Development Package

Indy DevStation integrates the following components to create a world-class development platform:

The Best Little Box in Town

Indy offers a fast, integrated architecture, expandability, and all other standards and connections required to fit easily with other systems. Using the MIPS(r) RISC processor, the CPU also doubles as a powerful graphics engine, delivering high-speed 2D color vectors, fast pixel operations, fast X performance and interactive 3D graphics. Indy supports collaborative workgroup efforts with its support for video conferencing and digital media.

IRIS Development Environment

The IRIS Development Option is bundled as part of DevStation. IDO includes the following development libraries and tools:

A Programmer's Best Friend

CASEVision/WorkShop is an integrated suite of tools designed to give programmers a productive edge by combining the power of visualization with advanced technological features. Based on a powerful object-oriented architecture, WorkShop was built from the ground up to provide capabilities unavailable in generic UNIX programming tools.

The environment supports fast data watchpoints, memory corruption detection, multiprocess and GL debugging, and source-level expression evaluation of FORTRAN and C++ code. Visualization is incorporated into the views, including the 3-D Array Visualizer for handling very large arrays, imaging and graphics problems, and Heap View, a graphical display of dynamic memory that makes memory errors immediately visible. It also includes a suite of graphical Coverage Analysis tools for performing basic test coverage on C, C++ and FORTRAN programs. Whether a programmer is porting or maintaining code, writing simple routines or developing parallel applications, WorkShop makes the process more efficient and effective.

Integration wlth the CASEVision Environment

The DevStation development environment can easily be extended to include any of the leading third party tools, or more of Silicon Graphics' tools for software development. These tools include:

Indigo Magic(tm)

Indigo Magic is Silicon Graphics' intuitive, end-user environment that incorporates a unique Media User Interface. Indigo Magic takes the user beyond standard drag-and-drop desktops into an environment that incorporates audio, video, and 3D graphics to maximize personal productivity. It provides easy access to and use of system resources and network devices, and promotes workgroup collaboration. Indigo Magic gives the user tools to work faster, smarter, and more creatively.

DevStation Fits into your Development Environment

ToolTalk(tm) integration is provided as a basic service of IRIX(tm), and is used to integrate all of the CASEVision tools, from third party tools such as Teamwork(tm) from Cadre, to the CASE tools developed by Silicon Graphics. CASEVision provides all major third party applications, and supports heterogeneous and distributed development.
