Debugging Memory Problems with MemoryScape : Chapter 4 Creating Programs for Memory Debugging : Setting Up MPI Debugging Sessions : Starting MPI Issues

Starting MPI Issues
If you can’t successfully start MemoryScape on MPI programs, check the following:
*
The MPICH code contains some useful scripts that let you verify that you can start remote processes on all of the computers in your computers file. (See tstmachines in mpich/util.)
*
Does the TotalView Server (tvdsvr) fail to start?
Remember that MemoryScape uses rsh to start the server, and that this command doesn’t pass your current environment to remotely started processes.
*
Under some circumstances, MPICH kills MemoryScape with the SIGINT signal. You can see this behavior when you use the Kill command as the first step in restarting an MPICH job.
