This release adds more parallel programming support. TotalView now supports debugging IBM pthread programs that use M:N user mode scheduling. TotalView will display information for mutexes, condition variables, R/W locks, and pthread keys, giving greater visibility into the state of your threaded program. We've also added to our OpenMP list support for KAI's GUIDE compilers and viewing of THREADPRIVATE data on IRIX.
