Design and Implementation of Distributed Debugger Supporting Heterogeneous Environment

이기종환경을 지원하는 분산디버거의 설계 및 구현

In an ongoing project at ETRI-CSTL, A debugger for distributed programs that run on a varied collection of machines is being built. To build such debugger, a clientserver model is incorporated. This strategy enables us to provide a unified user interface and isolate debugger core from the user interface. Several debugging servers running on a diverse set of platforms permit the implementation of a distributed debugger for heterogeneous environment, and the single debugging client provides unified debugging concept and graphical user interface over various servers. Also, the precise specification of the interaction protocol between the client and server facilitates client to be paired with a variety of server implementantations. This paper describes the design and implementation of our debugger, concentrating on the system architecture.
