Allinea DDT
Description
Allinea DDT is a debugging tool from Allinea Inc., designed for debugging parallel/distributed programs using OpenMP/MPI libraries. Its primary aim is to provide a powerful and user-friendly graphical user interface, together with unique features such as so-called Parallel Stack Viewer (providing a global overview of the status of all the debugged application's threads/processes).
License
- the debugger is licensed for 32 simultaneously debugged processes
- till 10/2013, the DDT may be used on all the MetaCentrum clusters; after this time period, the DDT may be used just on the clusters located at Botanická 68a, Brno
WARNING: The purchased licenses permit just an academic use of the program!
Usage
Upcoming modulesystem change alert!
Due to large number of applications and their versions it is not practical to keep them explicitly listed at our wiki pages. Therefore an upgrade of modulefiles is underway. A feature of this upgrade will be the existence of default module for every application. This default choice does not need version number and it will load some (usually latest) version.
You can test the new version now by adding a line
source /cvmfs/software.metacentrum.cz/modulefiles/5.1.0/loadmodules
to your script before loading a module. Then, you can list all versions of allineaDDT and load default version of allineaDDT as
module avail allineaDDT/ # list available modules module load allineaDDT # load (default) module
If you wish to keep up to the current system, it is still possible. Simply list all modules by
module avail allineaDDT
and choose explicit version you want to use. Tunnelling the graphical environment, log into a node, where you want to run the Allinea DDT:
$ ssh -X skirit.metacentrum.cz
skirit$ module add allineaDDT
skirit$ ddt # ddt-mpirun, ...
Notice: This application use or needs GUI – graphical interface. To use the application in graphical mode see Remote desktop or X-Window.
