Replay for Debugging MPI Parallel Programs
MPIDC '96: Proceedings of the Second MPI Developers ConferenceThe cyclic debugging approach often fails for parallel programs because parallel programs reveal nondeterministic characteristics due to message race conditions. This paper addresses the execution replay algorithm for debugging MPI parallel programs. ...
Software Profiling for Deterministic Replay Debugging of User Code
Proceedings of the 2006 conference on New Trends in Software Methodologies, Tools and Techniques: Proceedings of the fifth SoMeT_06Significant time is spent by companies in trying to reproduce and fix bugs in their software. The process of testing and debugging can immensely benefit from a tool that supports Deterministic Replay Debugging (DRD). A tool that supports DRD will allow ...
Debugging Parallel Programs with Instant Replay
The debugging cycle is the most common methodology for finding and correcting errors in sequential programs. Cyclic debugging is effective because sequential programs are usually deterministic. Debugging parallel programs is considerably more difficult ...
