Visual IDE and Debugger?

[thundurstruck]

Hi Gurus - I've been using ifort in Linux for about 5 years. Most of our codes are serial and work very well, however we've starting developing parallel applications with OpenMPI (WRF Model and custom geophysics codes) and we're finding debugging them using freely available tools such as GDB and DDD just isn't very effective.

I've used Totalview in the past but we simply can't justify the cost. Does Intel offer a visual debugger that is comparable to Totalview (works in the X environment) to help us effectively debug our parallel applications?

Thanks,

Chuck

The X GUI version of idb has been included with Intel linux compilers for about 2 years.

Hello,

we have to be more precise here to not get it wrong:
Yes, IDB comes with both GUI (idb) and CLI (idbc) versions for Linux.
However, MPI debugging is only supported with the CLI version. The replication of debugging commands is not implemented for the GUI version. There's nothing planned to provide GUI support for MPI so far. You're welcome to create a feature request, though.

This should avoid confusion.

Best regards,

Georg
