Abstract

In a message-passing program, there are at least as many threads as processors, and the programmer must deal with large numbers of them on a massively parallel machine. On our target machine, the CM-5, we had previously developed Prism, a programming environment that supports debugging, data visualization, and performance analysis of data-parallel programs. We discuss how our new version, Node Prism, extends Prism's capabilities for message-passing programs. It looks and feels like the data-parallel version, but it uses new methods for user-debugger interaction that promote greater understanding of parallel programs. It offers scalable expression, execution, and interpretation of all debugging operations, making it easier to debug and understand message-passing programs.<>

用于大规模并行消息传递程序的可伸缩调试器
在消息传递程序中,至少有与处理器一样多的线程,程序员必须在大型并行机器上处理大量的线程。在我们的目标机器CM-5上,我们先前开发了Prism,这是一个支持调试、数据可视化和数据并行程序的性能分析的编程环境。我们将讨论我们的新版本Node Prism如何扩展Prism的消息传递程序功能。它看起来和感觉上都像数据并行版本,但是它使用了新的用户-调试器交互方法,促进了对并行程序的更好理解。它提供了所有调试操作的可伸缩表达式、执行和解释,使调试和理解消息传递程序变得更加容易。
