The design and implementation of multi-mode parallel program debugger
Min Zhu · Jisuanji gongcheng yu sheji · 2001
MPDG is a parallel debugger designed for high performance parallel computer. MPDG has three primary attribute: 1. It is implemented based on a client/server architecture, which divides the system into three component: user interface, parallel debugging management and debugger server, the debugger server is a native debugger of target machine; 2. Supporting multi-mode parallel program debugging with a consistent manner. MPDG provides an identical debugging control for message-based distributed application and distri- bute shared memory application; 3. Three level GUI, which includes main windows, process group windows and proess window. Especially, MPDG provides process group control convenient for debugging parallel processes with the same flow of execution and source code.
