| This is the initial release of the PTP Scalable Debug Manager (SDM). The SDM is a framework for debugging parallel programs. |
| It comprises the following components: |
| |
| 1. An MPI-based client/server framework for controlling multiple distributed processes. The primary purpose of this |
| framework is to attach backend debuggers to the processes being debugged, and to provide a library interface |
| to control the debugging of these processes. |
| |
| 2. A proxy library that allows the client/server framework to be controlled from a remote location. This is particularly |
| important, since it is not always possible to know the location of the SDM client (it may be placed on a random |
| node in the parallel machine). |
| |
| 3. A JNI library for interfacing Java applications to the proxy client. This allows applications like Eclipse to control |
| the debug framework, respond to events, etc. |
