Thanks for your reply Greg. I saw the
presentation Beth gave at OSCON and this prompted my inquiry. Let me experiment
a little more and demo this stuff to some of my colleagues. After that I’ll
probably take you up on that conference call.
Thanks again, Gabe

Hi,
I’m
wondering if there is developer information for integrating with other MPI
implementations, specifically Intel MPI?
I've started on some developer documentation, but with all the things
on my TODO list it may take some time :-) I'd be happy to arrange a conference
call and/or meet with you to explain the architecture and talk about what would
be necessary to add support. I would be very happy to see PTP support Intel
MPI.
Is the
OpenMPI runtime needed both for launching/monitoring the jobs and for the
debugging?
The debugger is an MPI program, so technically should work with any MPI
implementation. However there are some tricky startup issues that introduce
some OpenMPI-ness into the process. I would be happy to explore what changes
would be necessary to support your MPI.
BTW, there is an open meeting scheduled for 21/22 August to develop a
specification for a generic, portable, scalable tool communication
infrastructure. The idea is that debuggers and other tools would use this
infrastructure for launching and communication services, and that it would
support a wide range of systems and architectures. Eventually the PTP debugger
will be replaced by this infrastructure. You'd be most welcome to attend this
meeting and participate in the discussions. Let me know if you'd like more
information (another person from Intel is also interested in possibly
attending).
Is there a
way to attach the debugger to already running processes?
Currently the debugger only supports launching the application. However
a number of other people have also expressed interested in attaching, so this
is something that we plan to add, hopefully for the next release.
