Getting Started With TotalView

You are about to learn the basics of using TotalView, the most versatile debugger for UNIX and Linux platforms. Whether you are developing serial or multi-threaded C/C++ or Fortran programs, or if you are developing parallel programs employing multiple processors, TotalView has the debugging power and flexibility you need. Once you learn how to debug with TotalView on one platform, you can apply what you've learned to other platforms because the user interface and debugging style remain uniform and consistent across platforms and programming models.

Using TotalView is really easy. To begin with, TotalView comes with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). If you are in doubt at any point or if you need more information about some command, TotalView Help is aware of your current context. Using Help, a novice user can successfully debug simple codes in the very first session.

Let us take TotalView for a "test drive."
