Distributed Debugging Workshop
November 11-12, 1988
Hyatt Orlando Hotel
Kissimmee, FL
Background:
Last year a number of DOE/NSF sites met in Boulder Colorado to
discuss how to share software within the community. Two topics
were chosen to focus on because little had been done in these
areas so far, and thus, there is a chance of producing sharable
code for the community. These areas were distributed editing and
distributed debugging.
An initial meeting to discuss distributed debugging was held at
the National Magnetic Fusion Energy Computer Center on March 17,
1988. A distributed debugger was defined to be one were the user
interface is on one machine and a debugging kernel, or server,
could be on another machine. The question is what services does
this kernel provide to the user interface.
It was decided to hold this workshop to try to answer that ques-
tion.
Purpose:
Define the features that a kernel debugging service must provide
the user interface, and sketch a possible protocol between a de-
bugger front-end and server.
Talks:
We invite people to submit abstracts of talks that will be given
the first day. The talks will be informal, limited to at most
thirty minutes, and papers will not be required nor published by
this workshop. An overhead projector will be available.
Abstracts must be submitted by October 14, 1988, to either Sue
Utter or Bruce Kelly.
Results:
The second day will be used to define the kernel functionality
and sketch a protocol. The minutes of this session will be dis-
tributed to the attendees and available to others, on request,
for a fee of $5.00.
Place and time:
Hyatt Orlando Hotel, November 11-12, 1988. Reservations must be
made by October 10, 1988 to get the workshop rate of $80 single,
$90 double. Call (407) 396-1234.
The workshop will be held the Friday and Saturday before the Su-
percomputing '88 conference.
Registration Fee:
$115.00. Includes refreshments and lunch for each day.
