Optimized Record-Replay Mechanism for RPC-based Parallel Programming

  • Conference paper
Programming Environments for Massively Parallel Distributed Systems

Part of the book series: Monte Verità ((MV))

Abstract

This paper presents a mechanism for record-replay of parallel programs written in a remote procedure call (RPC) based parallel programming model. This mechanism, which will serve as a basis for implementing a user-level debugger, exploits properties of the programming model to limit drastically the volume of records that need to be done. This reduction can be applied to other programming models.

This work has been partially supported by the French Ministery of Research under the inter-PRC project TRACE.
