EtnusTotalView debugger popular in Oil and Gas industryFramingham 22 May 2001 Etnus sees an increasing demand for TotalView in the oil and gas industry. Over the last year, conglomerates have relied on TotalView to debug their mission-critical, high performance computing applications, doubling the use of TotalView in the oil and gas industry.
This industry primarily uses TotalView in developing reservoir simulation
and seismic imaging applications that incorporate large-scale parallelism.
Using parallelism enables the development of significantly more detailed
reservoir models by distributing the data and the tasks across multiple
processors. The most comprehensive and versatile debugger available today, TotalView
has advanced features supporting the most popular parallel programming
models, such as MPI, OpenMP, threads, and PVM. Etnus will release a new
major version of TotalView in June, further advancing its lead in parallel
program debugging. IBM is the leading supplier of hardware to the oil and gas industry.
TotalView is available on the IBM SP computing system as well as all other
major UNIX platforms, and the increasingly popular Linux clusters. The
combination of IBM SP parallel processing Power coupled with TotalView's
advanced features to support debugging of big and/or complex code speeds the
task of writing large parallel applications. For corporations like PGS and Saudi Aramco, this speed is critical to their
mission. "IBM has been intimately involved in the oil and gas industry by
supporting its simulation and seismic efforts."
