Pedersen, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Computer Science University of Nevada, Las Vegas Many complex and computation intensive problems can be solved efficiently using parallel programs on a network of processors. One of the most widely used software platfoims for such cluster computing is LAM-MPI. To aid develop robust parallel programs using LAM-MPI we need efficient debugging tools. The challenges in debugging parallel programs are unique and different from those of sequential programs. Unfortunately available parallel debuggers do not address these challenges adequately. This thesis introduces IDLI, a parallel message debugger for LAM-MPI, designed on the concepts of multi-level debugging. IDLI provides a new paradigm for distributed debugging while avoiding many of the pitfalls of present tools of its genre. Through its powerful yet customizable query mechanism, adequate data abstraction, granularity, user- friendly interface, and a fast novel technique to simultaneously replay and sequentially debug one or more processes from a distributed application, IDLI provides an effective environment for debugging parallel LAM-MPI programs.

  • Debugging Mixedenvironment Programs with Blink
    SOFTWARE – PRACTICE AND EXPERIENCE Softw. Pract. Exper. (2014) Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com). DOI: 10.1002/spe.2276 Debugging mixed-environment programs with Blink Byeongcheol Lee1,*,†, Martin Hirzel2, Robert Grimm3 and Kathryn S. McKinley4 1Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Gwangju, Korea 2IBM, Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA 3New York University, New York, NY, USA 4Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA SUMMARY Programmers build large-scale systems with multiple languages to leverage legacy code and languages best suited to their problems. For instance, the same program may use Java for ease of programming and C to interface with the operating system. These programs pose significant debugging challenges, because programmers need to understand and control code across languages, which often execute in different envi- ronments. Unfortunately, traditional multilingual debuggers require a single execution environment. This paper presents a novel composition approach to building portable mixed-environment debuggers, in which an intermediate agent interposes on language transitions, controlling and reusing single-environment debug- gers. We implement debugger composition in Blink, a debugger for Java, C, and the Jeannie programming language. We show that Blink is (i) simple: it requires modest amounts of new code; (ii) portable: it supports multiple Java virtual machines, C compilers, operating systems, and component debuggers; and (iii) pow- erful: composition eases debugging, while supporting new mixed-language expression evaluation and Java native interface bug diagnostics. To demonstrate the generality of interposition, we build prototypes and demonstrate debugger language transitions with C for five of six other languages (Caml, Common Lisp, C#, Perl 5, Python, and Ruby) without modifications to their debuggers.

  • Proceedings of the 3Rd International Semantic Web User Interaction Workshop, 2006
    Proceedings of the 3nd International Workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web (SFSW 2007) Co-located with 4rd European Semantic Web Conference June 3-7, 2007, Innsbruck, Austria. Workshop Co-Chairs’ Message SFSW 2007 - Workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web Scripting languages such as PHP, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Perl, JSP and ActionScript are playing a central role in current development towards flexible, lightweight web applications following the AJAX and REST design paradigms. These languages are the tools of a generation of web programmers who use them to quickly create server and client-side web applications. Many deployed Semantic Web applications from the FOAF, RSS/ATOM, blog and wiki communities, as well as many innovative mashups from the Web 2.0 and Open Data movements are using scripting languages and it is likely that the process of RDF-izing existing database- backed websites, wikis, weblogs and CMS will largely rely on scripting languages. The workshop brings together developers of the RDF base infrastructure for scripting languages with practitioners building applications using these languages. Last years Scripting for the Semantic Web workshop in Budva, Montenegro focused on giving an overview about the support for Semantic Web technologies within scripting languages. The special focus of this year’s workshop is the role of scripting languages in the process of populating the Web with linked RDF data as well as to showcase innovative scripting applications that consume RDF data from the Web. The focus especially of the included Scripting Challenge is to show how Web 2.0 applications and mashups can benefit from Semantic Web technologies.
