โฆ Synopsis
The conventional high level programming languages being used in physics, most notably FORTRAN, combine a high degree of insecurity with a lack of tools. With more modern languages, like Pascal or Ada, a toolset is quite often supplied for the development and analysis of programs.
Most useful are a traceback-and a symbolic dump facility, cross-reference generators, either at the level of separate variables, or at the level of procedures and functions, and a source code (or symbolic) debugger for the dynamic analysis of errors. A "profiler" for the generation of statement frequencies serves in the process of program optimization.

Fine tuning the performance of large parallel programs is a very difficult task. A profiling tool can provide detailed insight into the utilization and communication of the different processors, which helps identify performance bottlenecks. In this paper we present two profiling techniques for the f
Language in autism appears to be best characterized by a selective deficit in applying language forms for purposes of functional communication. This pattern of selective deficit has been called the ''form/function dissociation.'' This article outlines the language characteristics most often associat
