4.2.1.6 Debugging an Application

This section describes how to use TotalView to debug an application. Note that the steps in
this section assume that you have already completed the previous steps to prepare TotalView,
described in Section 4.2.1.2 and Section 4.2.1.5.

1.

Compile the application to be debugged. For example:

$ mpicc -g -o Psimple simple.c -lm

The

-g

option is strongly recommended. It enables debugging information that TotalView

will utilize.

2.

Run the application in TotalView:

$ mpirun -tv -srun -n2 ./Psimple
