> Hello All,
> I am developing my parallel CFD code on a small cluster. My system has
> openmpi installed based on gfortran compiler. Please guide me
> follwing:
>
> (1) Which debugger would be easy and effective to use for above?
>
> (2) Which of the folliwng two ways of using arrays is more efficient
> with respect to memory and function-call-overheads or other overheads:
>                  (i) We should keep the arrays ALLOCATABLE and then
> before return from the subroutines, DEALLOCATE the local arrays.
>               or (ii) We should keep the local arrays fix-sized as
> much as we can. (Will the memory is deallaocated/freed automatically
> on return from the subroutine?).
>
> Thanks.
> with best regards,
> Amjad Ali.
