Launch multiple debugging sessions without recompiling

Printf on steroids

When your application has millions of lines of code, and you have difficulty getting access to computing resources, batch debugging might be your only approach to getting to the source of a defect or error.  If you are working in this resource-constrained environment, time-intensive methods like printf require multiple source edits, recompiling and relinking.  With tvscript, there is no need for relinking or recompiling.  Modifying your batch session is as simple as modifying the script.  TotalView's process, thread and time stamp information make the output more valuable, enhancing your ability to understand your program's behavior.

"To ensure our scientists' success, we need to provide them with the most comprehensive optimization tools available...they find [TotalView] indispensable in developing and debugging their programs."
