FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Etnus announces totalview=99 4.0 parallel debugger

Enhancements To Leading Parallel Application Debugger Include A Command Line
Interface, Support for New Platforms And Compilers=20

Portland, Ore.  November 16, 1999  Etnus, the leading supplier of parallel
application debuggers for the UNIX market, today announced TotalView=99 4.0,=
 the
first parallel debugger to support multiple development platforms for both
UNIX
and Linux.=20
        TotalView 4.0 providesa new command line interface that complements
its
extensive GUI.  This gives developers the added flexibility of working
directly
with scripted commands when it=92s not practical to use a graphical=
 interface.
        Other significant enhancements planned for TotalView 4.0 include
support
for new compilers such as the SunPro 5.0 and Guide OpenMP cross-platform
compilers on the IBM, SGI, Compaq and Intel Linux platforms; new platform
versions including the IBM AIX 4.3 PowerPC, and Linux on both Intel and=
 Alpha
platforms; and a number of performance and functionality enhancements.
Etnus was previously the ToolWorks group of Dolphin Interconnect Solutions,
and
was established as a wholly-owned business in August, 1998.  During the
past 12
months, Etnus has realized more than 50% growth in gross revenue with even
faster growth in license and maintenance sales.
TotalView has achieved widespread acceptance as the parallel debugger of
choice
throughout the high performance computing community for its support of
multi-process and multi-threaded applications such as the complex codes
used to
model nuclear physics and oil reservoir simulation, the sophisticated
econometric applications used for predicting stock market trends, and many
high-end applications used in large computing and research laboratories. =20
The GUI-based, single- and multi-process debugger shortens development time
via
an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use =93select-and-dive=94 approach. TotalView=
 enables
developers to unravel and control multiple threads and processes running on
single or multiple processor systems. The debugger automatically acquires
related processes and threads and graphically displays data arrays.  Users=
 can
easily dive on program objects and structures for more detail.=20
TotalView 4.0 will be available in January, 2000.=20
Etnus supports developers and major system vendors by providing
multiprocessor,
multi-node debugging and performance analysis tools. TotalView=99 scales=
 beyond
the capability of any other debugger and is deployed on systems of all
sizes in
a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, finance and
manufacturing, as well as on the multi-thousand processor systems of the=
 U.S.
Department of Energy=92s ASCI (Advanced Strategic Computing Initiative)=
 program.
