Can I use UNIX system calls such as printf() to help debug my code at UWM?
Yes. fprintf() statements and the like are OK at UWM, which is currently a development and prototyping system, but NOT on the lab systems. Make sure you remove these before committing your code to CVS. Please be sparing with the number of debugging statements that you have, or it may be difficult for yourself and other users to find the output in the mpi.
