ddd is a graphical front end for debugggers, it isn't a debugger itself. If you are using ddd, then you are likely still using gdb underneath as the real debugger. If you want a list of gdb front ends... there is an emacs gdb mode which is the front end that I use. There is gdbtk which is a graphical X windows front end that uses tcl/tk. There is also a curses based text window front end called tui, originally from HP, but I've never used that one so I don't know anything about it.
As for other debuggers besides gdb, I know that Intel has one which comes with the Intel compilers. It implements a gdb-like command set. This debugger is called LDB, the Linux debugger.
There are of course other debuggers for other operating systems, but they aren't useful on ia64-linux systems.
