CodeDynamics

Key Features

* C and C++ debugging and troubleshooting: C and C++ give you control over the details of data, access patterns, memory management, and execution. But direct control over low level machine behavior leaves little margin for error when it comes to building and maintaining scalable scientific applications. CodeDynamics provides the ideal environment for troubleshooting complex C and C++ applications. They feature detailed views of objects, data structures, and pointers, simplifying working with complex objects. * Data visualization for understanding application behavior, computational data, and patterns: Most of the applications you are developing are engines for manipulating data. Whether observational or computational, it is the data that you really care about. When you are trying to develop insight into the behavior of a physical system you approach it quantitatively. The same approach is necessary when trying to understand the behavior of computational systems. * Debugging memory leaks and malloc errors: The fact that memory is a limited resource has a significant impact on the implementation of your application, especially when it contains millions of lines of code. As program complexity grows, memory leak debugging and troubleshooting malloc errors become more difficult. Memory-related code defects can cause out-of-control resource and random data corruption. Memory errors can also manifest themselves as random program crashes, negatively impacting productivity. In a worst-case scenario, memory errors can result in corrupted data causing programs to generate inaccurate results. CodeDynamics helps you manage that risk by ensuring working code and accurate results. * Multithreaded applications / multicore architectures: The era of increasing clock rates has ended. Processor architectures are characterized by multicore and many-core designs. Building a multithreaded application or transitioning from a serial application to a parallel application presents significant challenges. CodeDynamics and ReplayEngine are natively built to help you manage the challenges presented by concurrency, parallelism, and threads. * Unattended batch debugging: CodeDynamics unattended batch debugging script, TVScript, is a framework for non-interactive debugging with CodeDynamics. You define a series of events that may occur within the target program, TVScript loads the program under its control, sets breakpoints as necessary, and runs the program.
