The MPI Cluster Debugger Add-In helps you debug parallel applications (in the C++ project system) that are running on a Windows HPC cluster and that communicate through Microsoft Message Passing Interface (MPI). The MPI Cluster Debugger extends the Microsoft remote debugger functionality and simplifies the process of debugging multiple cooperating processes that are running on a remote cluster.
The MPI Cluster Debugger does the following:
Deploys your application files to the cluster nodes
Deploys any additional files that you specify
Launches the remote debugger on each node that is used for the debugging session
Cleans up after the debugging session ends
The MPI Cluster Debugger is included in the HPCDebugger_VS2008.msi installer which you can download from the HPC Debugger Add-ons for MPI and Cluster-SOA.
