Early Access to the NextGen TotalView for HPC User Interface
The TotalView team has been hard at work creating the next generation TotalView user interface! While the interface is in its initial development stage, we are pleased to provide an early version so that we can gather feedback from TotalView users on its existing capabilities. To try out the new user interface, start TotalView with the -newUI switch:
totalview -newUI
Check out the in-product help through the Help | Contents menu item for more details about the new user interface. Currently, the next generation UI is available only on Linux x86 64-bit platforms. It fully supports multi-process and multi-threaded debugging but does not yet support parallel, MPI or CUDA debugging. It also does not yet include some features like evaluation, barrier and watchpoints. Each new release will include additional functionality based on a priority list that you can help influence. Please send email to tv-beta@roguewave.com with your feedback and feature priorities. We welcome all feedback and feature requests for the new user interface.
Continued Performance Updates
Each TotalView release incorporates performance improvements. For this release, improvements were made to leverage the GNU_HASH section to quickly read and process debug information.
Fortran Improvements
A number of bug fixes and enhancements have been made to TotalView’s Fortran support, including the functionality to display variables within nested modules as well as to display modules and the module data for the Intel Fortran compiler.
