ABSTRACT:
A debugger for use in connection with a parallel computer including a plurality of processing nodes. The debugger enables the operator to establish a processing node set in response to certain criteria, such as the respective identifications of the processing node and their prior processing under the debugger. The debugger, in response to a processing node set establishment command from the operator, enables each processing node to establish and condition a set membership flag in response to the operator-supplied set membership criteria. The debugger is then responsive to a debugging command from the operator to enable the processing nodes to use their respective set membership flags to condition their execution of the debugging command.
