Part II:

Setting Up

This section of the TotalView User Guide contains information about running TotalView in the different types of environments in which you execute your program.

Chapter 3, “Accessing TotalView Remotely”

This chapter describes how you can start and interact with TotalView when it is executing on another computer.

Chapter 4, “Setting Up a Debugging Session”

This chapter tells you what you need to know to start TotalView and tailor how it works.

Chapter 5, “Setting Up Remote Debugging Sessions”

When you are debugging a program that has processes executing on a remote computer, TotalView launches server processes for these remote processes. Usually, you don’t need to know much about this. The primary focus of this chapter is what to do when you have problems.

If you aren’t having problems, you probably won’t need this chapter at all.

Chapter 6, “Setting Up MPI Debugging Sessions”

When you are debugging a program that has processes executing on a remote computer, TotalView launches server processes for these remote processes. Usually, you don’t need to know much about this. The primary focus of this chapter is what to do when you have problems.

Debugging other kinds of parallel programs is discussed in the next chapter.

Chapter 7, “Setting Up Parallel Debugging Sessions”

TotalView lets you debug programs created using many different parallel environments, such as OpenMP, SHMEM, Global Arrays, UPC, and the like. This chapter discusses how to set up these environments.

Debugging MPI programs is discussed in Chapter 2, “About Threads, Processes, and Groups”.
