This work presents ValiPVM, a testing tool for C/PVM parallel programs. This tool
implements structural coverage criteria, using an architecture already employed for MPI …

Parallel programs present some features such as concurrency, communication and
synchronization that make the test a challenging activity. Because of these characteristics …

Among the message passing environments, MPI (Message Passing Interface) has been
considered by several authors as the de facto standard to build parallel software. In spite of …

PVM and MPI have often been compared regarding their functionality and performance from
the users' point of view. In this paper, however, we will present some comparison from a tool …

Complex code bases require continual testing to ensure that both new development and
routine maintenance do not create unintended side effects. Automation of regression testing …

STEPS is a tool for structural testing of parallel software. It incorporates static and dynamic
tools and provides a visual interface to ease the process of finding errors in processes …

In this paper we briefly describe several tools related to programming in PVM. The
monitoring and debugging systems covered are XPVM, PGPVM, and PVaniM. XPVM is a …

Developing an adequate set of tests also called a test suite is an important part of software
development process. We faced this problem while working on mpC parallel programming …

We describe Grindstone, a suite of programs for testing and calibrating parallel performance
measurement tools. The suite consists of nine simple SPMD style PVM programs that …

Abstract The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the de facto standard for writing message
passing applications. Much of MPI's power stems from its ability to provide a high …
