Striking a New Balance Between Program Instrumentation and Debugging Time

Willy Zwaenepoel, Ricardo Bianchini, Olivier Crameri

Although they are helpful in many cases, state-of-the-art bug reporting systems may impose excessive overhead on users, leak private information, or provide little help to the developer in locating the problem. In this paper, we explore a new approach to b ...

Querypoint : Moving Backwards on Wrong Values in the Buggy Execution

Claude Petitpierre, Salman Mirghasemi

As developers debug, they often have to seek the origins of wrong values they see in their debugger. This search must be performed backwards in time since the code causing the wrong value is executed before the wrong value appears. Therefore, locating the ...

Performance Profiling of Virtual Machines

Willy Zwaenepoel, Jiaqing Du

Profilers based on hardware performance counters are indispensable for performance debugging of complex software systems. All modern processors feature hardware performance counters, but current virtual machine monitors (VMMs) do not properly expose them t ...

Monitoring and troubleshooting wireless sensor nodes by measuring the supply current waveform

Pierre-André Farine, Alexis Boegli, Mitko Tanevski

A troubleshooting method for debugging wireless sensor nodes using measurements of the supply current waveform and logic outputs is presented. The troubleshooting and debugging technique uses the supply current waveform in conjunction with the measurement ...

Execution Synthesis: A Technique for Automated Software Debugging

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir

Debugging real systems is hard, requires deep knowledge of the code, and is time-consuming. Bug reports rarely provide sufficient information, thus forcing developers to turn into detectives searching for an explanation of how the program could have arrive ...

Model-Based Debugging

Salman Mirghasemi

Software Debugging is still one of the most challenging and time consuming aspects of software development. Monitoring the software behavior and finding the causes of this behavior are located at the center of debugging process. Although many tools and tec ...

Selective Symbolic Execution

George Candea, Cristian Zamfir, Vitaly Chipounov

Symbolic execution is a powerful technique for analyzing program behavior, finding bugs, and generating tests, but suffers from severely limited scalability: the largest programs that can be symbolically executed today are on the order of thousands of line ...

Visual Debugging of MPI Applications

Roger Hersch, Ali Al-Shabibi

We present the design and implementation of a debugging tool that displays a message-passing graph of the execution of an MPI application. Parts of the graph can be hidden or highlighted based on the stack trace, calling process or communicator of MPI call ...

Righting Software

James Richard Larus

What tools do we use to develop and debug software? Most of us rely on a full-screen editor to write code, a compiler to translate it, a source-level debugger to correct it, and a source-code control system to archive and share it. These tools originated i ...
