Newsgroups: comp.parallel From: rn@cs.brown.edu (Robert H.B. Netzer) Subject: Bibliography on Parallel and Distributed Debuggers Organization: Brown University Department of Computer Science Date: Tue, 7 Jun 1994 13:19:37 GMT Bibliography on Parallel and Distributed Debuggers The debugging bibliography contains references to papers on parallel debuggers. The list was compiled first by Cherri Pancake and Sue Utter (1990), then extended by Cherri Pancake and Rob Netzer (1992-1994). It includes technical reports, journals and conference papers, and Ph.D. dissertations dealing with parallel debuggers. No distinction is made between tools for parallel and for distributed systems, although debuggers implemented on multiprocessor or multicomputer architectures which are only capable of analyzing serial programs have been omitted. Treatments of parallel programming environments, debugging methodology, or techniques for program analysis are included when a significant portion of the publication is devoted to factors influencing the design/implementation of debugging tools. An annotated version which cross-references the items by subject classifications is currently underway. Anyone who would like other published papers or tech reports to be included is invited to correspond with the editors. We request BOTH a citation (in the BiBTeX format) and a hardcopy version of each item. They can be sent to either Cherri Pancake or Rob Netzer, whose addresses are below. Please be sure to include your address and telephone number so that we can contact you with questions about how your papers should be classified. Three compressed files are available: debug_3.0.bib.Z Version 3.0 of the BIBTEX form of a bibliography on parallel debuggers (revised 5-1-1993) debug_3.0.ps.Z PostScript version of the complete bibliography listing (609 entries, occupying 30 pages) debug_3.0.add.ps.Z PostScript version of just the new entries (239, occupying 14 pages). The previous version was published in SIGPLAN Notices, vol. 26, no. 1 (January 1991). If you have a copy, this is a handier listing. The bibliography is now stored on cs.orst.edu (128.193.32.1) and wilma.cs.brown.edu (128.148.31.66), which contain identical copies. Files can be retrieved as follows: 1. Open a connection to wilma.cs.brown.edu or cs.orst.edu through ftp. > ftp wilma.cs.brown.edu > ftp cs.orst.edu 2. Log on by entering 'anonymous' at the login name prompt; enter your e-mail address as the password. 3. Change the transfer mode to binary, and change to the directory containing the bibliography: ftp> binary ftp> binary ftp> cd pub/debug ftp> cd pub/pancake 4. Issue the ftp 'get' command to transfer the desired file(s). For example, to get Version 3.0, enter: ftp> get debug_3.0.bib.Z ftp> get debug_3.0.bib.Z Send e-mail to the coordinators if you would like your name added to a mailing list for notification of future updates to the bibliography. Corrections or additions can be sent to the same address. Cherri M.
