New Techniques for Replay Debugging

Daniel B. Price

May 1998

Abstract:

Many systems have implemented replay of parallel or sequential processes, but none have provided a robust set of debugger tools that take advantage of this power. This paper develops new ideas about how software instruction counters can be used by programmers to facilitate debugging applications under replay. This paper is the discussion of the author's project for Honors in the degree of Bachelor of Science under the direction of Professor Robert H.B. Netzer.
