After three years of PhD thesis and two years on the DEMA project, the work on model-centric debugging and mcGDB is over! There is currently no plan of continuation, so the project will stay in its current state.

These presentations summarize the five years of work:

• Summary presentation (Dec 2016)
• PhD thesis defence (Feb 2014)

And these documents describe it with more details:

• DEMA D1 to D4 reports (Dec 2016)
• PhD thesis manuscript (Feb 2014)

As part of our annual team seminar, I’ve updated the GDB.py tutorial from the Rencontre de la Communauté Française de Compilation:

• Docker machine (everything included in kpouget/tuto-gdb.py)

or

• Presentation slides PDF
• Exercise sheet MD
• The exercise files TGZ

Understanding, Scripting and Extending GDB

The talk was divided in three parts:

• GDB Under the Hood: an introduction to GDB internals
• Your turn: Programming GDB in Python: discover GDB.py with simple examples/commands to run in the CLI
• Your turn: New GDB Functionnalities: extend GDB with new commands and try them. I provide the command template, you fill the gaps

In Septembre P. Virouleau presented at OpenMPCon 2016 the work we have done during the first year of the DEMA project. It was entitled:

Programming-Model Centric Debugging for OpenMP

• Presentation

The extended abstract is after the jump.

Last week I did an interactive presentation/tutorial in the 11th Rencontre de la Communauté Française de Compilation, in Aussois, France. It was entitled:

Understanding, Scripting and Extending GDB

The talk was divided in three parts:

• GDB Under the Hood
• Programming GDB in Python
• Your turn

The first half is an introduction to GDB internals, and the second is an interactive tutorial that helps you writing new GDB commands in Python.

• Presentation
• Python files or docker pull kpouget/tuto-gdb.py

Today I presented a poster at COMPAS 2016 conference. It is entitled:

Programming-Model Centric Debugging for OpenMP

• Poster

How internal breakpoints are used in mcGDB to capture runtime information.

• Slides

• Slides in PDF

Today we had the third meeting of the DEMA project at the INRIA center of Grenoble/Minatec.

I presented the work done so far on the interactive profiling and debugging of sequential applications.

• Meeting presentation

Today we had our end-of-year meeting of the DEMA project between the mountains of Chamonix.

I presented the work done so far on the integration of OpenMP 4.0 into mcGDB. It was focused on task debugging, with a cooperation with Temanejo debugger.

• End-of-year presentation (Dec 2015)
• D1 documentation — OpenMP 3.0 Integration
• D3 documentation — OpenMP 4.0 Integration

Today I presented my work at the JLESC workshop at Bonn, Germany. It was a 20’ presentation entitled:

Programming-Model Centric Debugging for OpenMP/OMPss
