This survey covers rollback-recovery techniques that do not require special language
constructs. In the first part of the survey we classify rollback-recovery protocols into …

We present an overview of visualization tools for parallel systems focusing on parallel
debuggers, performance evaluation systems, and program visualization systems. Our goal …

Large-scale wireless sensor networks represent a new generation of real-time embedded
systems with significantly different communication constraints from traditional networked …

The paper shows that characterizing the causal relationship between significant events is an
important but non-trivial aspect for understanding the behavior of distributed programs. An …

A software system is disclosed which facilitates the process of tracing the execution paths of
a program, called the client. The tracing is performed without requiring modifications to the …

We have developed a new replay debugging tool, liblog, for distributed C/C++ applications.
It logs the execution of deployed application processes and replays them deterministically …

Jockey is an execution record/replay tool for debugging Linux programs. It records
invocations of system calls and CPU instructions with timing-dependent effects and later …

A software system is disclosed which facilitates the process of tracing the execution paths of
a program, called the client. The tracing is performed without requiring modifications to the …

Execution replay is a crucial part of debugging. Because explicitly parallel shared-memory
programs can be nondeterministic, a tool is required that traces executions so they can be …

Developers use cloud computing platforms to process a large quantity of data in parallel
when developing big data analytics. Debugging the massive parallel computations that run …
