TIPS & TRICKS
Running TotalView on a Remote Machine
It is possible to use TotalView, or any X Windows application, remotely by using X11 forwarding. TotalView Technologies strongly recommends you do not do this when using TotalView on a machine that is on a different network, as extreme GUI latency can occur.
TotalView Technologies recommends using VIrtual Network Computing (VNC) to set up a remote desktop on the distant machine and accessing that desktop via a viewer on your local machine. To do this, TotalView Technologies suggests TightVNC, which is a free, GPL licensed version of VNC. TightVNC offers "tight" encoding to compress screen updates, making it very fast and eliminating most latency issues. Users can download or find more info on TightVNC at its website.

Introducing MemoryScape 2.0 with MPI Support
TotalView Technologies recently announced the availability of MemoryScape 2.0, our newest version of the industry's most powerful memory debugger. MemoryScape's graphical, interactive user interface helps developers identify, inspect and resolve difficult memory problems in C, C++ and Fortran, including complex multi-process and multi-threaded programs. And a host of new features have increased the debugging capacity and ease-of-use even more.
Improved wizard-based navigation allows developers to switch between multiple views within the same process and navigate across a browser-like history list, and more versatile platform capabilities mean MemoryScape now works with MPICH 1 and 2, LAM, Open MPI, MVAPICH, Quadrics, MPT, Intel MPI, IBM POE, and Sun Cluster Tools.
MemoryScape supports Linux (RedHat and SuSE varieties on x86, AMD64, Intel 64bit x86, ia64 and Power), Apple OS X (Power and Intel), and Unix (AIX, Solaris Sparc and Solaris AMD64). Available in team licensing that allows for process token-based use between multiple employees, it is a developer's must-have. |

TotalView Technologies Partners with CINECA Supercomputing Center
TotalView Technologies has partnered with Italy's CINECA Supercomputing Center on the HPC-Europa Project. As part of the agreement, the scalable TotalView debugger will be available on CINECA high-performance computing systems, with a license scaling up to 1000 cores.
A non-profit Interuniversity Consortium comprising 28 Italian universities, the CNR (National Research Council) and the Ministry of University and Research, CINECA is the largest Italian computing center and is leading the HPC-Europa Project funded by the European community. CINECA operates in the technological transfer sector through high-performance scientific computing, the management and development of networks and web based services, and the development of complex information systems for treating large amounts of data.
HPC-Europa is a consortium of six leading HPC infrastructures - CINECA (Bologna), BSC (Barcelona), EPCC (Edinburgh), HLRS (Stuttgart), IDRIS (Paris) and SARA (Amsterdam) - aiming at the integrated provision of access to HPC systems and scientific cooperation to the European research community working at the forefront of science, allowing European researchers to remain competitive with leading research teams worldwide. With members of each center working across all six infrastructures, researchers from all over Europe will have access to the TotalView debugger on the CINECA systems. |

TotalView Adds Three News Sales Reps
TotalView Technologies has expanded its sales team with the additions of senior federal accounts representative Brian Bonenfant and commercial accounts representatives Joseph Latosek and Mike Quinn. Brian Bonenfant joins TotalView Technologies from Resources Global Professionals, where he was director of business development. Joseph Latosek has extensive experience in high-tech sales and joins TotalView Technologies from Lexmark Corporation, where he generated millions in new revenue as a senior account executive. Mike Quinn joins TotalView Technologies from Oracle Corporation, where he was an Oracle application sales representative.
The high-tech experience and strong sales records of all three will help to widen our market reach and drive product proliferation. |

Industry Tidbits
Did you know...?
According to analyst firm IDC, the next revolutionary phase change in HPC will arise from a major increase in the number of processors in each computer. Analysts maintain that this number will rise, but that there will be little or no change in individual processor speed, and there will be sharply reduced memory access to each processor core. By extension, almost all HPC software will need hefty redesigns to take advantage of the new technology. All of this means that developers will be looking for a quick and efficient way to successfully rewrite their multi-core, multi-process applications for this next crop of computer systems. The demand for state-of-the-art debugging solutions will only grow as HPC software enters a new stage of development and programmers work to service the ever-changing market. | |
