TotalView Technologies Adds Batch and Remote Access Debugging to TotalView(R) 8.6

NATICK, MA, Oct 23 (MARKET WIRE) --
TotalView Technologies, a provider of dynamic software analysis tools for
serial and parallel codes, today introduced the newest version of its
award-winning source code analysis and error detection tool, TotalView
8.6. The new TotalView 8.6 release includes batch debugging with TVScript
designed to automate test/verify/debug environments, and remote display
debugging to enable developers to use TotalView across machines from any
location.

TotalView 8.6 includes a new troubleshooting utility called TVScript,
which provides TotalView users with a streamlined mechanism for automated
and unattended debugging. TVScript significantly condenses the print-style
troubleshooting cycle by allowing users to perform multiple runs of a
single version of a program -- examining different variables at different
locations each time -- without recompiling or stopping to make source
edits. This enables developers to perform debugging via instrumentation
and run the program without any interactive debugging session on the
target machine. Since the first instrumentation pass is rarely sufficient
to pin down the problem, root cause TVScript makes it extremely simple to
refine the instrumentation and resubmit the job.

TotalView's new Remote Display Client offers users the ability to easily
set up and securely operate an interactive graphical debugging session
using TotalView running on systems which may be located down the hall,
across campus, or on the other side of the country. Available for Linux
x86, Linux x86-64, Windows XP and Windows Vista, the Remote Display Client
will now be included in all TotalView releases and does not require a
separate license.

The Remote Display Client uses SSH to provide for authentication and
encryption of traffic over the wide area network. The client has been
designed to let the user connect to machines requiring logging in to a
publicly addressable host and then a second connection with compute
resources on private IP addresses behind firewalls. This requires no
special software, but just the client on the user's desktop and TotalView
on the server or supercomputer where he wishes to debug his software.
Users and site administrators can create and share profiles to record the
steps needed to log on to specific machines. The client also handles job
submission with popular batch queuing systems like PBS Pro and
LoadLeveler.

TotalView is a comprehensive source code analysis and memory error
detection tool that dramatically enhances developer productivity by
simplifying the process of debugging parallel, data-intensive,
multi-process, multi-threaded or network-distributed applications. Built
to handle the complexities of the world's most demanding applications,
TotalView offers a number of advanced features that help speed development
and eliminate bugs quickly. Most recent versions also support Cell
Broadband Engine-based Linux systems utilizing the IBM Cell Software
Development Kit (SDK), and the IBM Blue Gene/P platform.

"Debugging is a critical and time-consuming part of the application
development life cycle," said Chris Gottbrath, product manager at
TotalView Technologies. "TotalView has already significantly reduced the
effort and time it takes for our customers to resolve defects in their
programs. This version of TotalView frees developers to debug any way
they choose -- interactively, via batch, and remotely. This new version
makes debugging convenient."
