Abstract

Launching a debugging process. A method includes at a compute node on a cluster private network, receiving a debug job via a scheduler of a head node from a client on a public network. The head node is connected to both the cluster private network and the public network. The public network is external to the cluster private network. The method further includes beginning processing the debug job, and as a result initiating debugging by starting one or more debugger remote agents at the compute node. The method further includes beginning processing a user job in the presence of the started debugger remote agents at the compute node. The client is informed that the one or more debugger remote agents are ready to debug the user job. A debugger client at the client is connected to the one or more debugger remote agents.
