  • Controller for sequential programming tools executed in a parallel computing environment
    Patent number: 5325530
    Abstract: A controller (210) for controlling a plurality of sequential tools (220.sub.1, 220.sub.2, . . . , 220.sub.n), such as dbx debuggers (dbx tools), operating in a parallel computing system. The controller executes each of these sequential tools on an individual node (245.sub.1, 245.sub.2, . . . , 245.sub.n) of a parallel computing system (100). The controller associates each tool with a particular process (230.sub.1, 230.sub.2, . . . , 230.sub.n) of a user program executing on a particular node. Typically, each tool accumulates specific performance characteristics of its associated process as data and transfers the data to the controller for ultimate display to a programmer. In particular, the controller in combination with various dbx tools operating on various nodes in the parallel computing environment produces a parallel program debugger (pdbx). As pdbx, the controller sends commands to particular nodes to control the operation of each dbx tool executing on that particular node.
