Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for debugging graphics programs via a system with a single graphics processing unit. The method includes the steps of storing an initial state of an application programming interface context in a memory, intercepting a stream of API commands associated with the frame, transmitting the stream of API commands to a software layer that implements the API to render the frame, and in response to a breakpoint, storing a graphics processing unit context in the memory. The initial state of the API context corresponds to the start of a frame, and the stream of API commands are generated by a graphics application.
