I find that using mpirun to launch multiple instance of a serial debugger is fairly usable (but not perfect) for jobs with fewer than about four processes. A description of how to do this is here: http://www.open-mpi.org/faq/?category=debugging
The biggest drawbacks to this approach are that a) setting breakpoints and stepping between lines must be controlled separately for each process b) restarting the job requires ending all of your debugger sessions. -Brian On Fri, Oct 29, 2010 at 4:06 AM, Jeremy Roberts <j.alyn.robe...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd suggest looking into TotalView (http://www.totalviewtech.com) and/or DDT > (http://www.allinea.com/).
