Ncube has a symbolic debugger "ndb" for their MIMD machine (which can have
thousands of processors).  Furthermore, Alva Couch and I have developed
several debugging tools for the Ncube as a part of an ongoing research effort
in debugging and performance monitoring tools for distributed memory
multicomputers.  We are currently adding symbolic referencing capabilities
to our tools.  My guess is that most or all MIMD systems have a 
symbolic debugger.
