Event/Course Description
TotalView from Perforce Software is a parallel debugger for complex C, C++, Fortran, and CUDA applications.
LRZ's new SNG Phase2 and Linux-Cluster CM4 will be heterogeneous systems comprising both CPUs and GPUs. This makes it difficult to find and challenging to fix coding errors in user codes that use both computing resources. In this online course, users are shown how to use TotalView to debug parallel codes on GPUs and CPUs.
