Improving and Simplifying High Performance Computing in Power and Energy Systems
Oil and gas modeling software is rapidly growing in size and complexity to take advantage of clusters' CPUs and GPUs. Developing and debugging these applications — which often have hundreds of millions of lines of code plus a complex web of shared libraries, arrays, threads, and processes — can be challenging, unless you have TotalView.
Industry developers can expedite digital gas and oil exploration by using TotalView to:
Accelerate Data Analysis
Finding gas and oil deposits in less time is possible with fast, highly reliable HPC applications. Speed development cycles, boost response times, and reduce downtime by using TotalView. With it you can:
- Quickly analyze code to pinpoint data and logic errors and identify areas for optimization in highly complex HPC applications.
- Easily view the state of your entire job and examine data in any process to verify accuracy — even in massively parallel and scalable applications.
- Easily debug MPI, OpenMP, and CUDA code running on CPUs and GPUs across clusters.
Improve Object Visualization
Developing and managing 2D- and 3D- objects, models, and simulations involves added complexity, including multidimensional array management.
With TotalView, you can easily view, slice, and filter your arrays — and view comprehensive statistics about arrays — so you can create the visualizations needed to expedite gas and oil discovery.
Speed HPC Debugging
With TotalView, you can easily establish interactive debugging connections even on complex, multi-tiered architectures. That's because when jobs run, the built-in Reverse Connect capability automatically connects the backend job with the TotalView user interface, so no lengthy, manual management is required.
