TotalView 8.8 with ReplayEngine 1.7 and MemoryScape 3.1 Released

MARCH 23, 2010

Natick, MA, March 23, 2010 - TotalView Technologies, a Rogue Wave Software company and provider of interactive analysis and debugging tools for serial and parallel codes, today announced the simultaneous release of TotalView® 8.8, ReplayEngine 1.7, and MemoryScape 3.1. These interoperable products are designed around the troubleshooting needs of scientists and developers working in HPC, Technical Computing and commercial software development. They dramatically simplify debugging and memory analysis especially for applications that are data-intensive, multi-threaded, or distributed across a network or cluster.

TotalView 8.8 provides improved runtime performance at scale and introduces support for Fedora 12, Ubuntu 9.10, and version 10.1 of the PGI Compiler Suite. TotalView includes an integrated Remote Display Client to provide fast, secure and easy access to debugging for remote and geographically distributed users at shared HPC facilities. TotalView 8.8 introduces the Remote Display Client for Apple OS X, and adds Windows 7 to the list of supported operating systems that already included Windows XP and a variety of desktop Linux environments.

ReplayEngine, a TotalView add-on, records program execution history and replays it for diagnosis with TotalView and MemoryScape. With the release of ReplayEngine 1.7, a Backwards Continue feature has been added, with support for breakpoints, watchpoints, and expression points. MPI support has been expanded to include Nemesis and SSM channels for MPICH2, and shared memory configuration for OpenMPI, IntelMPI, HP MPI, and LAM MPI. This release of ReplayEngine also features enhanced stability and performance for multi-threaded programs using OpenMP.

MemoryScape 3.1 brings the Red Zones instant bounds-checking in heap memory functionality, which was available for Linux in previous releases, to Solaris and Apple OS X.

“This release reflects our continued focus on the practical debugging concerns facing scientists and software developers working in Technical and High Performance Computing,” says Chris Gottbrath, Principal Product Manager at TotalView Technologies. “Many such users have a Mac or modern Windows laptop or desktop that they can use with the Remote Display Client to access multi-core servers and a variety of HPC clusters. Our users collaborate widely — sometimes using computers down the hall, sometimes computers on another continent”
