+= Hints for using the SGI-Altix at HLRN =
+
+Starting from Rev 223,  PALM allows using of the totalview-debugger on hice and bice.
+The following gives a brief instruction:
+
+1.)
+Add an additional block "lcsgih parallel debug" in the mrun configuration file
+(.mrun.config):
+
+%totalview      true           lcsgih parallel debug
+
+Use mpt-MPI-version (mvapich should also work):
+
+%mpilib         mpt            lcsgih parallel debug
+%compiler_name  ifort          lcsgih parallel debug
+
+and include library option "-lmpi" within the %lopts settings.
+
+2.)
+Copy .mrun.config into directory ~/palm/current_version on hicegate.
+Also copy parameter-file and other files required for the run to the respective
+subdirectories under ~/palm/current_version (e.g. JOBS/...).
+
+3.)
+Log in on hicegate (it is essential to use "-X" as ssh-option !!) and
+execuute following commands (for a debug-run with 4 cores on one node):
+
+qsub -I -X -l nodes=1:ppn=4 -l walltime=1000 -q testq
+                  # starts a so-called interactive job
+
+module load mpt    # or other mpi-version
+module load netcdf
+module load totalview
+
+mrun -d ....
+     # usual mrun-call, options as required by user, but WITHOUT option -h
+     # values given for -X and -T options must match the qsub settings,
+     # e.g. in this case "-X4 -T4"
+
+After short time, the totalview-window should open (if testq is filled with other
+jobs, you may have to wait for a longer time).
+
+4.)
+After closing the totalview window, leave the interactive job with "exit".
+
+The following links lead to the totalview-online-documentation:
+
+The ISV online documentation server
+   https://www.hlrn.de/doc/
+now also serves the documentation for TotalView 8.6.1-1
+(see the Online Documentation Overview
+   https://www.hlrn.de/home/view/System/DocumentationOverview
+for access information).
+
+Please also follow the second link, because only this provides you
+with access information (username, password) for the online documentation!
