Today's largest systems have over 100,000 cores, with million-core systems expected over the next few years. This growing scale makes debugging the applications that run on them a daunting challenge. Few debugging tools perform well at this scale and most provide an overload of information about the entire job. Developers need tools that quickly direct them to the root cause of the problem. This paper...
Petascale systems will present several new challenges to performance and correctness tools. Such machines may contain millions of cores, requiring that tools use scalable data structures and analysis algorithms to collect and to process application data. In addition, at such scales, each tool itself will become a large parallel application - already, debugging the full Blue-Gene/L (BG/L) installation...
We present the Stack Trace Analysis Tool (STAT) to aid in debugging extreme-scale applications. STAT can reduce problem exploration spaces from thousands of processes to a few by sampling stack traces to form process equivalence classes, groups of processes exhibiting similar behavior. We can then use full-featured debuggers on representatives from these behavior classes for root cause analysis. STAT...
