Abstract
This paper presents an improvement on XMPI which is a MPI debugging tool based on LAM/MPI platform. The improvement is to monitor the involving physical nodes timely, gather the status information and display the status snapshots of the physical nodes. This function is an effective debugging method, which makes developers find their program bugs and load balance problems more effectively and efficiently. Especially after releasing of MPI-2 spec which allows developers to add and delete nodes dynamically during the MPI program running, it makes more significant in monitoring the physical nodes status.
