A Debugging Standard for High-Performance Computing

A Debugging Standard for High-Performance Computing

Throughout 1998, the High Performance Debugging Forum worked on defining a base level standard for high performance debuggers. The standard had to meet the sometimes conflicting constraints of being useful to users, realistically implementable by developers, and architecturally independent across mu...
