“…In contrast to PARET [6] that concentrates on the lowlevel packet communication, MADCAPP focuses only on the application-level messages. This eliminates the task of processing other packets corresponding to routing table maintenance and retransmission due to loss or damage of messages that are mixed with the packets corresponding to the application-level messages.…”

The issue of correctness of complex asynchronorcs distributed algorithms implemented on loosely coupled parallel processor systemsis difficult to address given the lack of effective debugging tools. In such systems, messages propagate asynchronously over physical connections and precise knowledge of the state of every message in the system at any instant of time is difficult to obtain. For a particular class of asynchronous distributed algorithrns [1,2,5] that may be characterized by independent models that execute asynchronously on the processors and interact with one another only through explicit messages, the following reasoning applies. Information on the flow and content of messages and the activity of the processors is significant towards understanding the functional correctness of the implementation. This paper proposes a new approach , MADCAPP, to measure and analyze highlevel message communication and the activity level of the processors.

“…Previous research in the area of modeling and displaying the activity of a parallel processor system includes PARET [6], PIE [7], POKER [8,9], PAW [10], and SIMON [11,12]. PARET is a modeling tool wherein the concurrently executable entities of user programs, operating systems, and hardware configurations are modeled and studied.…”

“…The most significant distinctions occur in the scalability of specifications. Poker (4) and PARET, (14) for example, are typify most systems by providing no scalability: the user explicitly creates, annotates, and interconnects program nodes and he draws a new graph for each change in program size. Polylith, ~15) CODE, (12~ and SPECTRAL (16) each provide limited scalability.…”

We report here on a graph editor, ParaGraph, that supports massively parallel programming. It provides a flexible mechanism for the concise specification of families of annotated graphs, addressing the problems of user annotation and scale independent graph manipulation. ParaGraph currently serves as the basis for tools supporting communication abstractions in program specification and debugging. Its foundation in an extended form of aggregate rewriting graph grammars makes its adaptation to other parallel programming environments straightforward.
