Subject: Debugger for Red Hat 7.0

Linux Enthusiast,


If you're planning to travel across the country, you probably wouldn't
choose a bicycle...


In the same vein, developers may be hesitant to use printf or freeware
tools to debug a complex and lengthy application. TotalView by Etnus is
the only multiprocess, multithread application debugger/analyzer for Unix
and Linux that supports all major parallel programming models. 


This week, TotalView becomes available for Linux Red Hat 7.0. Developers
are invited to download a trial version at www.etnus.com.


For addition information, please see the release below or contact Mary
Kay Bunde at mkay@etnus.com or (651)994-4564.


Cordially,


Julie A. Stark

(for Etnus)

</center></bigger></bold>

Framingham, Mass. - December 20, 2000 - Etnus, the leading supplier of
debuggers for complex code development, today announced the availability
of the TotalView™ debugger/analyzer for Red Hat(R) Linux 7.0. TotalView
has long been the preferred tool for developers who contend with threads
and other forms of parallelism, large amounts of data, or many lines of
code, and has been available to Linux users since 1999.  


"In recent weeks, we've seen a substantial surge in demand for support of
Red Hat 7.0 due to recent internet and print media coverage along with
word of mouth within the Linux community. We responded quickly to this
demand, and today we are announcing the availability of Red Hat 7.0
support in TotalView." said Rich Collier, Etnus vice president of
engineering." 

	

TotalView is the only application debugger/analyzer that supports all
major parallel programming models including MPI, threads, and OpenMP and
the Fortran, C and C++ languages. It is powerful and flexible, with
features that are specific to the most popular parallel models.  Using
TotalView shortens development time via an easy-to-learn interface,
insightful visualizations, and powerful control capabilities. TotalView
helps developers unravel and control multiple threads and processes, and
transparently scales from one to thousands of processes. 


"TotalView is rapidly being adopted for TotalView in the Linux community.
We attribute that to the acceptance of Linux by major corporations,
research centers, and most national labs, where the traditional need for
Totalview has gone hand in hand with complex code development and
parallelism.  Developers of complex code on Linux platforms have found
that they need a robust, full-function debugger designed for the job.
Freeware tools, printf, and debuggers designed for simpler times are no
longer options, so TotalView is filling a major gap in the development
cycle."  said Mary Kay Bunde, Director of Market Development at Etnus.


The debugger automatically acquires processes and threads in multiprocess
programs, provides developers greater flexibility in controlling threaded
and parallel programs, and graphically displays data. Users can easily
dive on program objects for more detail.
