A model for monitoring and debugging parallel and distributed software
Dan Cristian Marinescu, James E. Lumpp, Thomas L. Casavant, Howard Jay Siegel · 2003
Several aspects of the multidimensional problem of providing monitoring support for the debugging and performance analysis of distributed and parallel systems and parallel applications are presented. The key elements of the solution to the problem are a formal event-action model at the process level and a layered architectural model. The application of the event-action model to the development of the abstract layered architectural model is shown, as well as a proposed implementation sketch of a nonintrusive monitor for the PASM parallel processing system.>
