Abstract

We provide a status update of ISP, our dynamic formal verifier for MPI programs. ISP determines and explores all relevant schedules of an MPI program. The highlights of this paper are (i) a recap of ISP’s features, and (ii) an overview of work in progress, including a graphical explorer for message passing (GEM) and a distributed MPI analyzer (DMA), an adaptation of ISP for the distributed setting.
