Enhances Capabilities for Small and Medium Business Developers - TotalView Technologies today announced that its TotalView debugger now supports the HP Cluster Platform Workgroup System for midsize customers. TotalView provides users with the ability to debug parallel applications running on the HP system, which offers affordable, high-performance computing without the hassle, complexity and expense of an enterprise-level system.

TotalView is a comprehensive source code analysis and memory error detection tool that can dramatically enhance the productivity of small development teams. TotalView simplifies the process of debugging parallel, data-intensive, multi-process, multi-threaded or network-distributed applications. Built to handle the complexities of the world’s most demanding applications, TotalView offers a number of advanced features that help speed development and eliminate bugs quickly. It also provides visibility into thread creation and grouping via a full graphical user interface, giving developers the ability to analyze bugs to identify the root cause of problems and manipulate and control threads as needed.

“TotalView’s advanced features for multi-threaded debugging are designed to accommodate developers in every environment,” said Chris Gottbrath, director of product management at TotalView Technologies. “We recognize the growing trends among workgroup development teams, and the developers using the HP Cluster Platform Workgroup System require the same high-quality application development tools as those working at an enterprise scale.”

Built on the HP BladeSystem c3000 architecture, the HP Cluster Platform Workgroup System delivers more than 1.5 teraflops per second of computing power while using only two square feet of floor space. Designed for development groups, midsize businesses, remote sites and branch offices, this versatile, energy-efficient blade design includes power supplies that plug into standard wall outlets, integrated network cables and easy-to-use management tools.

“Development teams need powerful yet affordable analysis tools to implement high-performance technologies that increase productivity and maintain a competitive advantage,” said Ed Turkel, manager, product marketing, Scalable Computing and Infrastructure, HP. “TotalView’s debugging capabilities coupled with the high-performance compute power of the HP Cluster Platform Workgroup System enable these teams to easily and cost-effectively test complex, data-intensive applications.”
