UPDATE: Europe's Top Scientists to Use TotalView Debugger to Streamline Application Development on High-Performance Computing Platforms: TotalView Technologies, a provider of interactive analysis and debugging tools for serial and parallel codes, announced today that its TotalView Debugger has been adopted by numerous members of the PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) Consortium to accelerate development of software applications on supercomputing platforms. PRACE members currently using TotalView include CINECA-Italy, CSC-Finland, the Forschungszentrum Jülich-Germany, SARA-the Netherlands, IDRIS-France, and LRZ-Germany. “Supercomputing is essential to the success of science and industry, so we need to stay ahead of the curve to remain competitive,” said Walter Lioen, group leader, Supercomputing, of SARA. “As part of PRACE, we are committed to working with the most advanced supercomputing platforms and tools. The TotalView Debugger will support us as we capitalize on these advanced platforms to develop the next generation of innovative, high-quality software applications.” SARA and other PRACE members adopted the TotalView Debugger for its power, ease of use, scalability and portability. TotalView was designed from the ground up to handle the complexities of the world’s most demanding multi-processing applications that scale to thousands of processes and threads with applications distributed over multiple machines or processors. TotalView offers many advanced features, including multi-language support and built-in source code and memory debugging capabilities, which streamline and simplify the development process. “As a member of the PRACE Consortium, SARA is helping to position Europe for a future where supercomputers play an increasingly critical role in international competitiveness,” said Rich Collier, CEO of TotalView Technologies. “By choosing to use the TotalView Debugger, these PRACE members will further expand and optimize their ability to develop applications on today’s most advanced supercomputing platforms.”
