Abstract
This paper introduces the design and implementation of a distributed debugging tool, XBUSTER, which is based on cluster system of Linux.Its basic structure and some key impmentation techniques are discussed. XBUSTER has all basic debugging functions and can debug PVM or MIP programs written with C or Fortran language. Parallel processes can be debugged both individually and simultaneously. The dynamic debugging ability is also supported. It has been running on the Tsinghua cluster system.
A significance statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
A contribution statement is not available in the OpenAlex record.
Method details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Findings are not separately available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Limitations are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
Application details are not available in the OpenAlex metadata.
