Etnus Releases TotalView 7.1 Featuring Enhanced Memory and MPI Debugging.

NATICK, Mass. -- Etnus, maker of TotalView -- THE debugger for complex code on Linux, UNIX, and Mac OS X -- announces general availability of version 7.1. This latest release features improvements to the advanced, built-in memory debugger and MPI debugging.

TotalView's popular built-in memory debugger now offers file export of raw, reloadable data; allowing development teams to perform collaborative debugging for the first time. Other new features include comparative memory reports that clearly show the impact of code changes on memory usage, filtering for efficient memory debugging, and guard blocks to enable out-of-bounds checking.

"Developers of complex code have told us that easy-to-use, responsive, and informative memory debugging tools are very important to them," said Chris Doehlert, President and CEO of Etnus. "Our built-in memory debugger delivers timely and clear information about leaks and heap activity and allows programmers to debug code and memory problems at the same time in one, seamless debugging session."

TotalView 7.1 also delivers improvements for developers working with MPI. They will enjoy easier management of processes and groups, including at-a-glance visibility of group memberships and process states through the new process grids feature. Other process and GUI improvements also contribute to TotalView's continuing role as the gold standard in MPI debugging.

TotalView is an advanced 32- and 64-bit graphical debugger providing software engineers with complete control over applications written in C, C++, or Fortran. It is the ideal debugger for applications that use multithreading, dual and multi-core architectures, MPI, or OpenMP, offering advanced features, such as heap allocation debugging, extensive data analysis, easy viewing of standard template library data, and a vast array of unique capabilities to find and eliminate problems in complex applications.
