You can debug individual processes in a job with gdb directly. Alternatively if you want to see the global picture of what a job is doing at a point in time follow the link in my sig, it won't allow deep debugging with breakpoints and register dumps but it should allow you to narrow in on problems quickly. Also which is unique to MPI it's possible to see the "message queues" for ranks within an MPI application which can help with programming. Ashley. -- Ashley Pittman, Bath, UK.
