TotalView New Features Guide : New and Changed Features in Previous Version 8 Releases : Version 8.6 Features

Version 8.6 Features
This section lists the changes made for version 8.6 of TotalView.
*
Remote Display: TotalView can open a window on your machine that displays TotalView executing on a remote system. We provide installers for Windows running XP or Vista, Linux x86 and Linux x86-64. While Remote Display can run only on these operating systems, the remote TotalView can execute on any platform that TotalView supports.
*
TVScript / Batch debugging: TotalView can run unattended using the tvscript shell command. The commands that tvscript executes can be entered as command-line options or by creating a file for tvscript to execute. See the TotalView Reference Guide for how to use the tvscript command.
*
Debug is added to the TotalView menubar if you are running on Linux-x86 and Linux-x86-64. All memory commands are now within Debug.
*
The current line is highlighted in yellow. If you have purchased a Replay license, an orange highlight line shows where you’ve gone back to. A separate marker shows the PC that existed when you entered replay mode.
*
The dhistory command lets you invoke ReplayEngine from within the CLI. The spurs command displays information on spurs library use.
*
Options supporting ReplayEngine are added to dattach, dload, and stepping commands such as dstep, dnext, duntil, etc.
*
Options to the dload command let you start MPI programs. These options are –mpi, –nodes, –starter_args, –np, –procs, and –tasks.
*
The Process > Startup Parameters dialog is rearranged and contains options for enabling memory debugging and ReplayEngine. This window comes up automatically when you start TotalView using a program’s name as an argument.
*
Other command-line options added for this release include
–local_interface (most often used with Blue Gene), –memory_debugging, and replay.
*
New variables added at this release are TV::ask_on_cell_spu_image_load, TV::cell_spu_image_ignore_regexp, TV::cell_spu_images_stop_regexp, TV::cell_spurs_jm_name, TV::cell_spurs_kernel_dll_regexp, TV::cell_spurs_ss_name, TV::cell_spurs_tm_name, TV::data_format_int128, TV::local_interface, and TV::GUI::heap_summary_refresh.
