Etnus TotalView 6.0 Provides Improved Sun Grid Support

This release Includes the much-anticipated Sun 64-bit support, latest compilers and operating systems, and improved C++ support.

Etnus, a world leader of debugging solutions for complex code, announced the availability of Etnus TotalView 6. With complete support for the Solaris 9 Operating Environment (OE), Sun ONE Studio 7 Compiler Collection, and Sun 64- bit addressing, Sun and Etnus customers will now have the development stack they require for writing complex applications.

With improved support for Sun Microsystems products, Etnus maintains its unrivaled leadership position in full-functionality, multi-platform, multi- process and multi-language debugging.

The Solaris 9 OE and Sun ONE Studio are key components of the Sun Open Net Environment (Sun ONE), the integration of Sun's award-winning portfolio of software products with Sun's vision, architecture, platform, and expertise to enable the development and delivery of Java services.

TotalView's full-featured source level, graphical debugger provides application developers with complete control over applications. Features like our famous dive capability, and the ability to test fixes before committing them to code simplify and speed development. TotalView also offers unrivaled support for applications that use multithreading and other parallel programming techniques that enable applications on both distributed memory and shared memory multiprocessor computers.

TotalView 6 has added support for Sun HPC ClusterTools Message Passing Interface (MPI). With this new TotalView support, Sun's HPC ClusterTools users enjoy TotalView's advanced features to aid in debugging MPI programs. TotalView's barrier breakpoints and message queue visualizations, features designed specifically with MPI programs in mind, provide insight into complex multiprocess programs. This additional insight lets research scientists and commercial developers find elusive bugs fast.

Customers are praising TotalView 6's support for Sun's latest products. "We've used Etnus TotalView, Sun ONE Studio 7, and Sun HPC ClusterTools separately for years," explains Dieter an Mey, head of the High-Performance Computing team in the Aachen University Center for Computing and Communication. "The integration of these products has provided me with a higher level of software analysis I previously did not have. The best in the industry now work together, and it's made my job much easier." Sun ONE Studio is formerly know as Sun Forte Tools.
