Large-scale high-performance computing systems pose a tough obstacle for today's program analysis tools. Their demands in computational performance and memory capacity for processing program analysis data exceed the capabilities of standard workstations and traditional analysis tools. A comparison of the sophisticated approaches of Vampir NG (VNG), the Debugging Wizard DeWiz and the correctness-checking tool MARMOT provides novel ideas for scalable parallel program analysis. While VNG exploits the power of cluster architectures for near real-time performance analysis, DeWiz utilises distributed computing infrastructures for distinct analysis activities. MARMOT combines automatic runtime and partially distributed analysis.
