Support Notes
Support information here in the product distribution is a snapshot. For the latest information, see the PDF version on the TotalView documentation web site.X Windows: X Windows is required on all platforms to run the TotalView and MemoryScape GUIs. Systems used for remote debugging, i.e. those running only the TotalView Server, do not need X Windows installed.OpenMP: Most languages now support OpenMP. If your language supports it, and if your OpenMP code compiles successfully with one of our supported compilers, then your OpenMP is considered supported by TotalView.OMPD: A compiler that supports OpenMP 5.x is required. Currently, the only supported OMPD 5.x compiler is LLVM’s Clang 12 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project). For more information on OpenMP compilers, see OpenMP Compilers and Tools on the OpenMP website.CUDA debugging: Operating systems support: Linux x86-64, Linux PowerLE/OpenPOWER, and Linux-arm64 operating systems. Current support is for the 9.2, 10, and 11 tool chains. NVIDIA GPUs support: Tesla, Fermi, Kepler, Pascal, Volta, Turing, and A100 AmpereNotes: 1) There is limited support for the Dynamic Parallelism feature; 2) On the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier Developer Kit, you must debug applications as root. For more information, please see “Using the CUDA Debugger” in the Classic TotalView User Guide.
ReplayEngine for reverse debugging: Supported on Linux x86 and x86-64 operating systems. On other platforms, ReplayEngine buttons and menu selections are grayed out in the UI. For more information, see “Reverse Debugging with ReplayEngine”.Replay Engine supports the IP transport mechanism on most MPI systems. It supports communication over Infiniband using either the IBverbs or the QLogic PSM transport layers on some systems. Please see the section “Using ReplayEngine with Infiniband MPIs” in the Classic TotalView User Guide for details.
Python debugging: Python 2.7 and 3.5 and above debugging is supported on Linux x86-64 operating systems. For more information, please see “Debugging Python” in the new UI’s TotalView User Guide, .Platform Support

Note 1: The Classic TotalView UI requires X11. For important notes on installing TotalView on macOS, please see the section Mac OS Installations” in the TotalView Installation Guide.
Note 2: Support on the XK6 platform for Cray's OpenMP Accelerator Directives and Cray's OpenACC Directives. For details, see the section “Directive-Based Accelerator Programming Languages” in the Classic TotalView User Guide. ReplayEngine supports debugging MPI-based programs using Cray MPI over the Gemini Interconnect found on Cray XE (x86_64 only) supercomputers.
Note 3: Debugging threaded programs (pthreads) that call exec() not supported.
Note 4: The TotalView Message Queue Display (MQD) feature with applications using IBM MPI Parallel Environment (PE) requires the threaded version of the MPI library.
Note 5: Classic TotalView UI only
