TotalView Debugger from Etnus Adds Support for Solaris-Opteron; Latest Release Also Supports Asynchronous Thread Debugging On Solaris.DRESDEN, Germany -- Etnus LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol. LLC - Logical Link Control , maker of TotalView(R) -- the world's most scalable multi-process debugger on Linux, UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). , and Mac OS X -- announced today at the Sun HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows. See Pocket PC. Consortium the release of TotalView Version 7.3 featuring support for Solaris-Opteron. This latest version of TotalView also provides asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. thread control on both Solaris SPARC (Scalable Performance ARChitecture) A family of RISC CPUs from Sun that runs mostly under Sun's Solaris, but also under Linux and BSD operating systems. After development began in the mid-1980s by David Patterson of the University of California at Berkeley and Bill and Solaris-Opteron platforms. With this feature, developers in these environments can diagnose and solve dreaded "race conditions" in complex multi-threaded programs. "Since 1993, Etnus has supported the debugging needs of over 250 customers running on Sun platforms," comments Scott Tate, Vice President of Marketing at Etnus. "This latest release reflects our continued commitment to empower Sun users to create the most sophisticated programs possible without compromising the reliability, accuracy and speed of their debugging." Bjorn Anderson, Sr. Director of HPC Marketing at Sun Microsystems, notes, "With TotalView, developers can now rely on one best-of-breed parallel debugger to identify challenging source code and memory problems in both Solaris SPARC and Solaris-Opteron environments. As a result, developers don't have to spend time learning to use a different debugger." TotalView Version 7.3 also includes support for Sun Studio 11 compilers for both Sun SPARC and Solaris-Opteron. It also includes an improved Message Queue Graph feature, which helps diagnose MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface deadlocks by finding and highlighting cycles within even very complex graphs. About Etnus Etnus is the world's leading provider of debugging and analysis solutions for complex code. Etnus products enable software engineers to visualize, control and correct complex UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X applications running on development machines with single, dual core, multi-core, or multiple processors. The company's flagship product, TotalView, enhances productivity by eliminating much of the frustration, delays, and headaches involved in debugging multi-process, multi-threaded or parallel applications containing massive amounts of data or many lines of code The statements and instructions that a programmer writes when creating a program. One line of this "source code" may generate one machine instruction or several depending on the programming language. A line of code in assembly language is typically turned into one machine instruction. . TotalView is recognized worldwide as the gold standard for debugging in high performance, distributed or cluster computing environments. TotalView garnered the HPCwire 2005 Editors' Choice Award in the 'Best Software Price/Performance' category. For more than two decades, Etnus products have been at work in research institutions, government laboratories and technical computing centers, as well as commercial enterprises in the financial services, telecommunications, biotech, aerospace, weather prediction, film special effects and animation, oil and gas exploration and CAD/CAM CAD/CAM in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers. markets.
