Abstract

The debugging of a kernel in a data parallel environment. A debugger engine interfaces with a data parallel environment that is running one or more data parallel kernels through a first interface. For each of at least one of the one or more kernels, a program object is formulated that abstractly represents the data parallel kernel including data parallel functionality of the kernel. The program object has a second interface that allows information regarding the kernel to be discovered by the debugger user interface module.
