Etnus Announces TotalView 7.0; Including C++ expression evaluation and support for Apple Mac OS X.

NATICK, Mass. -- Etnus, the provider of the most advanced debugger on Linux and UNIX, today announced the general availability of TotalView 7.0, which includes support for C++ and F90-specific expression evaluation, support for Apple Mac OS X, and enhancements to the graphical interface.

TotalView's enhanced expression evaluation system gives you even more power to control and analyze your C++ and F90 code. You can now use C++ expressions and call C++ functions in code you write on the fly in TotalView to help debug your program. You can also include expressions in ways that allow you to watch critical information, giving you more power and control than ever over your debugging session. F90-specific expression evaluation is also now available with this release.

Apple Mac OS X is fast becoming a desired computing platform for high performance and commercial computing. Software engineers who are employing complex parallel and threaded code to develop mission critical applications look to Etnus to provide the debugging solution, and today that solution is available on Mac OS X, as well as the vast majority of other major UNIX and Linux platforms.

Etnus has also improved the debugging experience for MPI programmers. The TotalView GUI now shows MPI processes graphically; these graphical views provide instant state information and an easy method to navigate among processes. The custom group interface has been simplified, and the interface to the MPI message queue has also been enhanced.

TotalView is an advanced 32- and 64-bit graphical debugger providing software engineers with complete control over threaded and parallel applications written in C, C++ or Fortran. TotalView's memory debugging features are fully integrated into the debugger, allowing developers to shorten the development cycle by eliminating both bugs in code and memory problems such as leaks at the same time. Memory features leverage unique, proprietary memory debugging technology that neither instruments code nor alters libraries. The user experience is further enhanced by an on-demand, view-based approach that eliminates the need to wait for post-mortem style reports common in stand-alone memory tools.

TotalView is the undisputed debugger of choice for debugging highly scalable and complex code, whether it's multithreaded or based on a multiprocess paradigm such as MPI or OpenMP. Free 15-day fully functional trials are available from www.etnus.com. Prices start at under $1000.
