SGI…has released to the open source community Jessie, a
next-generation Integrated Development Environment (IDE) framework
that will simplify and accelerate the creation of Linux(R)
applications.

“Jessie provides comprehensive debugging and performance
analysis tools in an easy-to-understand, highly visual graphical
user interface. The graphical interface eliminates the need for
employing command-line tools, a process that is common in existing
open source tools for Linux. In addition, Jessie is capable of
handling multiple executable commands simultaneously, allowing
developers to see the impact and interrelationships of commands on
each other. This capability allows developers to find and correct
errors earlier in the development cycle.”

“The release of Jessie signifies SGI’s ongoing commitment to
release technologies to the open source community that will advance
the performance and scalability of the Linux operating system.
Jessie is available for immediate download at SGI’s Open Source
Portal…”
