Abstract: Abstract Parallel tools require common pieces of infrastructure: the ability to control, monitor, and instrument programs, and the ability to massively scale these operations as the application program being studied scales. The Paradyn Project has a long history of developing new technologies in these two areas and producing ready-to-use tool kits that embody these technologies: Dyninst, which provides binary program control, instrumentation, and modification, and MRNet, which provides a scalable and extensible infrastructure to simplify the construction of massively parallel tools, middleware and applications. We will discuss new techniques that we have developed in these areas, and present examples of current use of these tool kits in a variety of tool and middleware projects. In addition, we will discuss features in these tool kits that have not yet been fully exploited in parallel tool development, and that could lead to advancements in parallel tools.
