Etnus TotalView 6.6 Adds EM64T To List Of Platforms

Etnus announced the availability of TotalView release 6.6, featuring enhanced support for the Intel EMT64T architecture and advancements in support for Intel compilers.

TotalView is an advanced 32- and 64-bit graphical debugger that gives software engineers with complete control over threaded and parallel applications written in C, C++ or Fortran, and built-in, interactive memory debugging to detect leaks and monitor heap activity. TotalView's proprietary memory debugging technology neither instruments code nor alters libraries, and is fully integrated into the debugger, allowing users to debug code and fix memory problems at the same time, eliminating the need to wait for post-mortem style reports common in stand-alone memory tools.

TotalView 6.6 adds support for Intel’s EM64T architecture running SLES 9 and support for SLES on Itanium (SLES 8 as well as 9) continuing Etnus' commitment to support the architectures that matter most to developers writing mission critical software. TotalView 6.6 also now supports Intel's OpenMP and the Intel Fortran and C/C++ compilers for Linux, version 8.1.

Other features of 6.6 include support for SuSE Linux 9.1 and SLES 9.0, Red Hat ES 3.3, IBM Power Linux, and other compiler, distribution, and graphical user interface updates. Long known for its ability to debug parallel and threaded code, TotalView offers the developer unrivaled ability to debug applications that use multithreading, MPI and OpenMP. Advanced features, such as heap allocation debugging, data analysis, and STLView for easy reading of standard template library data, provide unique capabilities to find and eliminate problems in complex applications.
