More Information:

Debugging is an essential part of software development and application. The advantages of a debugger compared to "print-debugging" is often underappreciated. TotalView is a powerfull tool which helps to find "sophisticated bugs" in parallel jobs very fast, but also for small problems it is a very helpful, timesaving tool.

TotalView is installed on all Hessian HPC-cluster, and is available for all Hessian researchers.

This course consists of lectures supplemented with pratical exercises.

Topics are

• basic usage
• debugging parallel codes
• Advanced features
  • core dump files
  • attach to a hung process
  • array visualizer

Basic knowledge of Fortran or C is necessary to follow the lectures and excercises.
