When running with just one mpi process it is often possible (on non-batch 
systems where one does not need to use mpiexec to start up a single rank run) 
to continue to just use

> gdb <the name of my exe.file> 

when running with more than 1 MPI process (or if the execuable requires mpiexec 
to start) you can use

mpiexec -n 2 ./executable options -start_in_debugger 

and it will open two terminals with the debugger for each rank. See 
https://petsc.org/release/manual/other/#sec-debugging for more details.
