Hi, Siegmar, After install mpich, you will need to set MANPATH like the following: export MANPATH=/path/to/mpich/install/share/man:$MANPATH Then you will see man page of mpich.

I didn't try it by myself, but that what I heard from people who did it with my application. I"ll try execution with gdb by myself when it will be possible.

[mpich-devel] new tutorial books on MPI
by Rajeev Thakur 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Since many of you are interested in MPI, I wanted to bring to your attention two new tutorial books on MPI: 1. Using MPI: Portable Parallel Programming with the Message-Passing Interface, 3rd edition by William Gropp, Ewing Lusk, and Anthony Skjellum This is an updated version of their earlier book, and covers basic MPI. http://www.amazon.com/Using-MPI-Programming-Message-Passing-Engineering/dp/… 2. Using Advanced MPI: Modern Features of the Message-Passing Interface by William Gropp, Torsten Hoefler, Rajeev Thakur, and Ewing Lusk This is a new book on advanced features of MPI, including the new features in MPI-3. http://www.amazon.com/Using-Advanced-MPI-Message-Passing-Engineering/dp/026… Rajeev _______________________________________________ To manage subscription options or unsubscribe: https://lists.mpich.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

I've never actually measured it, but my impression is that gdb doesn't slow down execution much (if at all), if you're just running a program under it so as to get a backtrace on a crash. Even a few breakpoints don't slow it that much...

Thank you for an advice. Unfortunately I can't change input data rate (from external source). We are working on slow down input rate. Using debugger cause execution slowdown an we can't deal with current data rate. Regards, Anatoly.

You could try running the master process under gdb. If it terminates abnormally - e.g. something like a segfault - you can then do a backtrace to find out where the problem is happening. Or if you get a "program terminated normally" message, then you know that it's following some code path that causes it to terminate.
