TotalView by Perforce HPE High Performance Computing Software: Perforce TotalView for HPC TotalView for HPC is a scalable and intuitive debugger for parallel applications written in C, C++, and Fortran that simplifies and shortens the process of developing, debugging and optimizing complex applications. Purpose-built for multicore and parallel computing, TotalView for HPC delivers a set of tools providing unprecedented control over processes and thread execution, along with deep visibility into program states and data. TotalView for HPC includes the following tools to make debugging as easy as possible:
TotalView supports the following key technologies:

Distribution Media and Software Documentation TotalView for HPC is available for download. Upon order delivery, customers will receive an entitlement certificate, which includes a URL to the Perforce licensing portal. Customers will need to visit the specified URL and enter their entitlement ID to download TotalView for HPC and complete their support setup. Customers may also download user guides and other documentation at https://totalview.io/support Sessions Manager TotalView for HPC includes a Sessions Manager, a graphical user interface (GUI) to manage debugging sessions. Users leverage the manager to load a new program, to attach to a program, or to debug a core file. The manager keeps track of debugging sessions and enables users to save, edit or delete any previous session. Users can duplicate a session and then edit its configuration to test programs in a variety of ways. Interface TotalView for HPC provides an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line interface (CLI). The GUI and CLI are well integrated, allowing users to use them together. Users may launch the CLI from the GUI and invoke CLI commands that display data in the GUI. Users also have the option to use each interface separately.
Stepping and Breakpoints In TotalView for HPC, breakpoints are a type of action point. TotalView for HPC has four different breakpoints:
Users can set action points in their program by selecting the boxed line numbers in the Source Code pane of a process window. A boxed line number indicates that the line generates executable code. Once the breakpoint is set on the line, an icon will appear. Selecting the icon clears the breakpoint. When a program reaches a breakpoint, it stops. Users can resume or control program execution in any of the following ways:
Data Display and Visualization TotalView for HPC provides comprehensive and flexible tools for developers to explore large and complex data sets. The TotalView for HPC data window supports browing through complex structures and arrays. Powerful slicing and filtering helps developers manage arrays of thousands or even millions of elements. Key features include:
Tools for Multi-threaded and Parallel Applications TotalView for HPC is designed to debug multi-process, multi-threaded programs, with a rich feature set to support finegrained control over individual or multiple threads and processes. This level of control makes it possible to quickly resolve problems like deadlocks or race conditions in a complex program that spawns thousands of processes and threads across a broad network of servers. When a program creates processes and threads, TotalView for HPC can automatically bring them under its control, whether they are local or remote. If the processes are already running, TotalView for HPC can acquire them as well, avoiding the need to run multiple debuggers. TotalView for HPC places a server on each remote processor at the time of launch, then communicates with the main TotalView process. This debugging architecture gives users a central location from which they can manage and examine all aspects of their program. Batch and Automated Debugging Users can set up unattended batch debugging sessions using the TotalView for HPC scripting tool, TVScript. First, the user defines a series of events that may occur within the target program. TVScript loads the program under its control, sets breakpoints as necessary, and runs the program. At each program stop, TVScript logs the data for review when the job has completed. Users can also execute message passing interface (MPI) programs using TVScript. While batch debugging of large-scale MPI applications through TVScript has long been a powerful tool, TVScript is fully certified to handle 1024 process jobs, 2048 threads per process, or more than two million running operations. Debugging on a Remote Host Using the Remote Display Client, users can easily set up and operate a TotalView debug session that is running on another system. A licensed copy of TotalView must be installed on the remote machine; however, the customer does not need an additional license to run the client. The client also supports submission of jobs to batch queuing systems, such as Altair PBS Professional® and Load Leveler. Using the TotalView Server, users can debug programs located on remote machines. Debugging a remote process is similar to debugging a native process, although performance depends on the load on the remote host and network latency. TotalView runs and accesses the process tvdsr on the remote machine. CUDA Debugger The TotalView for HPC CUDA debugger is an integrated debugging tool capable of simultaneously debugging CUDA code running on the host system and the NVIDIA® GPU. CUDA support is an extension to the standard version of TotalView, and is capable of debugging 64-bit CUDA programs. Debugging 32-bit CUDA programs is currently not supported. Supported features include:

Memory Debugging TotalView for HPC includes a fully integrated version of the MemoryScape product for debugging memory issues. MemoryScape can monitor how the program uses malloc() and free() and related functions. MemoryScape is also available as a standalone product. Reverse Debugging ReplayEngine records all program activities as it executes within TotalView for HPC. After recording information, users can move forward and backward by function, line or instruction. They can examine data and state in the past, as if it were a live process. Using ReplayEngine eliminates the cycle of starting and restarting common in debugging and greatly helps in finding hard-to-produce bugs. |

Configuration Information
|
Configurations TotalView license and support is a token-based approach where each token is tied to an application process. Configurations need to include the total number of concurrent processes needed to run through the software. Once the total number of processes is determined select the corresponding term of license and support: 1 year, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years. If more than 512 concurrent processes is needed reach out to Software Product Management for custom quotes from Perforce. | |
