Starting TotalView Debugging on an MPICH2 MPD Job

You must start the mpd daemon before starting an MPICH2 MPI job.

As of MPICH2 1.4.1, the default job type is Hydra, rather than MPD, so if you are using the default, there is no need to start the daemon. See “Starting TotalView Debugging on an MPICH2 Hydra Job”.
