    Debuggers and profilers summary 
    ===============================
    
      
    
    Introduction
    ------------
    
    We provide state of the art programms and tools to develop, profile and
    debug HPC codes at IT4Innovations.
    On these pages, we provide an overview of the profiling and debugging
    tools available on Anslem at IT4I.
    
    Intel debugger
    --------------
    
    The intel debugger version 13.0 is available, via module intel. The
    debugger works for applications compiled with C and C++ compiler and the
    ifort fortran 77/90/95 compiler. The debugger provides java GUI
    environment. Use [X
    display](https://docs.it4i.cz/anselm-cluster-documentation/software/debuggers/resolveuid/11e53ad0d2fd4c5187537f4baeedff33)
    for running the GUI.
    
        $ module load intel
        $ idb

    Debugger](intel-suite/intel-debugger.html) page.
    
    Allinea Forge (DDT/MAP)
    -----------------------
    
    Allinea DDT, is a commercial debugger primarily for debugging parallel
    MPI or OpenMP programs. It also has a support for GPU (CUDA) and Intel
    Xeon Phi accelerators. DDT provides all the standard debugging features
    (stack trace, breakpoints, watches, view variables, threads etc.) for
    every thread running as part of your program, or for every process -
    even if these processes are distributed across a cluster using an MPI
    implementation.
    
        $ module load Forge
        $ forge

    DDT](debuggers/allinea-ddt.html) page.
    
    Allinea Performance Reports
    ---------------------------
    
    Allinea Performance Reports characterize the performance of HPC
    application runs. After executing your application through the tool, a
    synthetic HTML report is generated automatically, containing information
    about several metrics along with clear behavior statements and hints to
    help you improve the efficiency of your runs. Our license is limited to
    64 MPI processes.
    
        $ module load PerformanceReports/6.0 
        $ perf-report mpirun -n 64 ./my_application argument01 argument02

    Reports](debuggers/allinea-performance-reports.html)
    page.
    
    RougeWave Totalview
    -------------------
    
    TotalView is a source- and machine-level debugger for multi-process,
    multi-threaded programs. Its wide range of tools provides ways to
    analyze, organize, and test programs, making it easy to isolate and
    identify problems in individual threads and processes in programs of
    great complexity.
    
        $ module load totalview
        $ totalview

    page.
    
    Vampir trace analyzer
    ---------------------
    
    Vampir is a GUI trace analyzer for traces in OTF format.
    
        $ module load Vampir/8.5.0
        $ vampir
