DySectAPI: Scalable Prescriptive Debugging
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the DySectAPI, a tool that allow users to construct probe trees for automatic, event-driven debugging at scale. The traditional, interactive debugging model, whereby users manually step through and inspect their application, does not scale well even for current supercomputers. While lightweight debugging models scale well, they can currently only debug a subset of bug classes. DySectAPI fills the gap between these two approaches with a novel user-guided approach. Using both experimental results and analytical modeling we show how DySectAPI scales and can run with a low overhead on current systems.

Supporting On-line Distributed Monitoring and Debugging
Monitoring systems have traditionally been developed with rigid objectives and functionalities, and tied to specific languages, libraries and run-time environments. There is a need for more flexible monitoring systems which can be easily adapted to distinct requirements. On-line monitoring has been considered as increasingly important for observation and control of a distributed application. In...

متن کاملAn approach to providing small-waiting time during debugging message-passing programs
Cyclic debugging, where a program is executed repeatedly, is a popular methodology for tracking down and eliminating bugs. Breakpointing is used in cyclic debugging to stop the execution at arbitrary points and inspect the program’s state. These techniques are well understood for sequential programs but they require additional efforts when applied to parallel programs. For example, record&repla...
