CDT/Obsolete/MultiCoreDebugWorkingGroup
Contents
Introduction
This page documents the activities of CDT's Multi-Core Working Group. This group aims to bring together different people from the community to jointly work on developing multi-core debugging for CDT. The group was first proposed at the CDT Summit 2010 and the suggestion was well received.
Although this effort does cover the debugging of target with multiple cores, we use the term Multi-core debugging in much wider sense. Multi-core debugging is meant to describe the simultaneous debugging of multiple cores, processes, threads, or other objects which are represented in standard debugger views.
Any one interested in helping in this effort is welcome to follow or join the group.
