. The realization of support for workstation clusters with the integrated tool environment Annai is discussed in this paper. Annai prototypes developed at CSCS support parallel program development with standard paradigms: implicitlyparallel High Performance Fortran (HPF) and explicit communication with the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The port to this new platform required only minor changes to our MPI library and parallel debugger, due to the clean separation of Annai components into portable and platform-dependent parts. Initial results show promising performance for the further exploitation of cost-effective workstation clusters with real MPI and HPF applications.
