BBN TotalView Debugger <description><url>http://www.bbn.com/tv/</url> <abstract> The TotalView debugger is a source-level, window-oriented, multiprocess debugger that is extremely powerful and flexible. You can learn TotalView quickly and be more productive because of its graphical interface (based on the X Window System). You can debug multiprocess programs because TotalView can manage multiple processes. You can debug remote programs over the network because of TotalView's distributed architecture. You can debug distributed programs over the network because TotalView can manage multiple remote programs and multiprocess programs simultaneously. <environment> TotalView is available for a variety of development platforms and can be used to debug programs running either on the native platform or on remote systems, such as parallel processors, supercomputers, or digital signal processor boards. Currently, TotalView supports the following development platforms: Sun 4 with SunOS or Solaris operating systems Digital Alpha with OSF/1 operating system IBM RS6000 with AIX operating system In addition, a LynxOS-hosted version is available from Lynx Real-Time Systems, and a Windows/NT port is underway. Custom versions of TotalView are available for platforms which use either pSOS operating system or no operating system at all. TotalView has been ported to support the following processor architectures: Motorola 68K, 88K, PowerPC families Sun SPARC Digital Alpha AT&T DSP 32C Intel i486, Pentium, i860, i960 Cray YMP Not all development hosts support all target processors. If TotalView is not yet available for your system configuration, please contact BBN about porting TotalView to suit your needs. Cray Research, Inc. and Meiko Scientific have licensed TotalView for use with their products. Please contact the vendors for information on their TotalView implementations. The TotalView debugger has been enhanced to debug PVM applications. This functionality allows TotalView to automatically attach to all processes in a running PVM application and to catch newly spawned processes as they are started. <contact>toolworks@bbn.com <keywords>parallel debugging <category>ppt-exe </urc>
