DDT is installed on HLRN IV and easiest used via a connection to a locally running GUI.
- download and install the Arm Forge Client for Mac/Windows/Linux for the same minor version as installed on HLRN (currently 20.1) at https://developer.armour system for ≥ version 22.x here:
www.linaroforge.com/tools-and-software/server-and-hpc/downloads/arm-forgedownload-documentation - open the installed program and adapt the settings for the HLRN installation:
Click on "Configure...
", next click on "Add
", then add a connection name: HLRN-IV Berlin or Göttingen, put the hostname of a login node which you can reach via your ssh setup, set the remote installation directory to/sw/tools/allinea/forge-20.1.3
- adapt your job script to initiate a debugging session. We recommend to use less than 8 nodes and if possible the testing queues. Also recompile your code with debugging information enabled "
-g
" and disable optimizations "-O0
" to avoid reordering of instructions.
Load the module and add a workaround for recent slurm changes viamodule load forge/20.1.3
export ALLINEA_DEBUG_SRUN_ARGS="%default% --oversubscribe"
(see https://developer.arm.com/documentation/101136/2101/Appendix/Known-issues/SLURM-support?lang=en )
in you job script and prefix your srun/mpirun call withddt --connect srun myapplication.x
- relaunch your local client, you should receive a "Reverse connection request", which you accept. This starts your debugging session.
