IBM RS/6000 Power AIX
The software and hardware requirements for running TotalView 5.0.0-1 on RS/6000 Power AIX systems are as follows:
Software Requirements
- AIX version 4.2.1, 4.3, 4.3.1, 4.3.2, or 4.3.3 (see RESTRICTIONS below)
- IBM C Set ++ for AIX Application Runtime Version 3.6.6.0; needed to support TotalView and the TotalView Debugger Server which are written in C++
- Release X11R4, X11R5, or X11R6 of the X Window System
Hardware Requirements
- Any RS/6000 or RS/6000SP
- 73MB of disk space
- 32MB of physical memory and 50MB of swap space (per TotalView session, per 100,000-line program)
Additional Requirements
Here are the compilers and environments supported by TotalView 5.0.0-1 on a IBM RS/6000 Power AIX system:

| Portland Group HPF |
2.4 |
| Parallel Environment for AIX |
2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 3.1 |
| MPICH |
Versions 1.1.2, 1.2.0 (32-bit only), 1.2.1 |
| ORNL PVM |
Version 3.4.1 See the PVM home page at http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html for more information on PVM |
Restrictions
- IBM PVME is not supported.
- You should also be aware of special AIX Patch Considerations within the Patching document.
- TotalView does not support 64-bit PE.
- On AIX 4.3.1 and on unpatched AIX 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 systems, TotalView supports debugging pthread programs running in pthread-compatibility mode or pthreads running in system contention scope. For more information, see pthread Considerations within the Special IBM Considerations document.
- To use the Message Queue Display (MQD) feature of TotalView with applications using IBM MPI Parallel Environment (PE), please note the following:
- You must have the PE version 2.3 or 2.4, and you must be using the threaded version of the MPI library.
- If you are using version 2.4.0.0, you need to apply an IBM-provided patch or you need to modify your TotalView distribution manually to use the MQD feature. See IBM RS/6000 Patch Procedures within the Patching document for more information.
- TotalView does support automatic process acquisition (but not MQD) both for applications built with PE version 2.2 and for applications built with non-threaded PE versions 2.3 and 2.4.
- See Portland Group HPF 2.4 Supported Configurations for supported HPF 2.4 runtimes. You may have to patch your Portland Group HPF 2.4 compiler run time as described in Portland Group HPF 2.4 Compiler Patch Procedures within the Patching document.
- TotalView 5.0.0-1 will not work with versions of GPF earlier than version 1.3 due to limitations in that file system. No file that must be read by should be stored on a pre-version 1.3 GPFS system.
- For additional information, see RS/6000 Problems within the TotalView Release Notes.
