High Performance Debugging Forum

Welcome to the (archived) home page of the High Performance Debugging Forum (HPDF). The goal of HPDF is to define a useful and appropriate set of standards relevant to debugging tools for high-performance computers. HPDF efforts focus on parallel systems being used for research and production in the HPC arena.
