COMPUTER IMPLEMENTATION METHOD FOR PERFORMING DISTRIBUTED RUNTIME DIAGNOSTICS IN HIERARCHICAL PARALLEL ENVIRONMENTS INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF PROCESSING ELEMENTS, COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND SYSTEM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for performing distributed runtime diagnostics in hierarchical parallel environments including a plurality of processing elements. PSOLUTION: A user is allowed to configure, during runtime, a processing element on which to perform diagnostics, an algorithm for the processing element to execute, a data set for the algorithm to execute against, a diagnostic function for the processing element to execute, a condition for executing the diagnostic function, and visualization parameters for memory local to the processing element. As a result, runtime diagnostics can be performed with sufficient degree of control and customization to aid debugging in the hierarchical parallel environments. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
