debugging

"It took a lot of hours staring at a computer, and a lot of debugging, frantically texting and emailing each other to figure this out," Santos recalls.

Few tasks are more tedious than debugging software — a process that can consume as much as 50% of an engineer’s time.

An exascale machine at Argonne National Laboratory is now undergoing final debugging before opening to users.

Frontier is expected to be eclipsed within weeks by Aurora, a second U.S. exascale behemoth now completing its final debugging phase at Argonne National Laboratory.

The synthetic chromosome has replaced one of the natural chromosomes of a yeast cell and, after a painstaking debugging process, now allows the cell to grow with the same fitness level as a natural cell.
