Abstract
Parallel debugging focuses on solving four problems: nondeterminism, global states, communication related errors and performance debugging. PVM is a widely used programming environment for network of workstations, but it provides little support on debugging. The authors have developed an integrated parallel debugger (called BUSTER) for PVM programs running on workstation clusters. They introduce the ideas and implementation techniques of the debugger
