Abstract
A debugger client/server application comprising a front-end and one or more back-ends, including a Director component which handles most of the initialization and parallel execution control issues and a rp.sub.-- client component and rp.sub.-- server component which handles most of the distributed execution issues. The Director allows a Debug Engine to be unaware of most of the parallel and distributed aspects of the application. Thus, the Debug Engine can be created by re-using a serial debugger for presenting the state information about the various programs that make up the application.
