Popis: Event visualization tools are commonly used to facilitate the debugging of parallel or distributed applications, but they are insufficient for full debugging purposes. The need for traditional debugging operations, such as single stepping, is often overlooked in these tools. When integrating such operations, the issue of concurrency (executions are only partially ordered, unlike totally-ordered sequential executions) needs to be addressed. This paper justifies and describes three single-stepping operations that we found suitable for partially-ordered executions: global-step, step-over and step-in.
