Two lightweight options if you want stepping, breakpoints, watchpoints,
etc.
* Use serial debuggers on some interesting processes, for example with
mpiexec -n 1 xterm -e gdb --args ./trouble args : -n 2 ./trouble args : -n
1 xterm -e gdb --args ./trouble args
to put an xterm on rank 0 and 3 of a four process job (there are lots
of other ways to get here).
* MPICH2 has a poor-man's parallel debugger, mpiexec.mpd -gdb allows you
to send the same gdb commands to each process and collate the output.
