Abstract

The Multicore Communications API (MCAPI) is a new message passing API that was released by the Multicore Association. MCAPI provides an interface designed for closely distributed embedded systems with multiple cores on a chip and/or chips on a board. Similar to concurrent programs in other domains, debugging MCAPI programs is a challenging task due to their non-deterministic behavior. In this paper we present a tool that is able to deterministically replay the executions of MCAPI programs, which provides valuable insight for MCAPI developers in case of failure.
