Course: HPC Debugging
Manager : Isabelle Dupays
Instructors : Isabelle Dupays, Olga Abramkina, Thibaut Véry
This training is aimed at anyone wishing to learn about parallel debugging. It will enable you to acquire the following skills:
- Knowing the DDT debugging tool for parallel programming (MPI, OpenMP, hybrid) used in the HPC domain (High Performance Computing).
- Being able to efficiently debug computational codes.
- Target audience

Prerequisites
Experience in parallel computing (shared memory parallelisation OpenMP, distributed memory parallelisation MPI).
Duration and practical info
Unless otherwise specified, IDRIS courses are taught in French.
This training lasts 1 day:
- from 09:00 to 17:00
It takes place exclusively in-person at the premises of IDRIS in Orsay (91).
Attendance
Minimum : 8 people ;
Maximum : 20 people.
Plan
- Introduction to parallel debugging. In this part, the main issues related to debugging parallel HPC applications are presented.
- Principles and methodology of parallel debugging. Reminders on shared memory programming (OpenMP), distributed memory (MPI), hybrid (OpenMP, MPI).
- HPC debugging tool (DDT). Presentation of the debugger on a hybrid parallel code, getting started, details of the features.
- Practical case on debugging a hybrid code using DDT.
For an efficient execution of the practical parts, these will take place on the Jean Zay supercomputer. A workstation with access to the IDRIS supercomputer is provided to the learners. Experience in using a supercomputer, as well as prior access to it, are not required.
