And debugging

The full dynamical treatment of electrons and nuclei together in a laboratory system of coordinates is computationally intensive and difficult. However, the availability of multiprocessor computers and detailed attention to the development of efficient software, such as ENDyne, which can be maintained and debugged continually when new features are added, make END a viable alternative among methods for the study of molecular processes. Eurthemiore, when the application of END is compared to the total effort of accurate determination of relevant potential energy surfaces and nonadiabatic coupling terms, faithful analytical fitting and interpolation of the common pointwise representation of surfaces and coupling terms, and the solution of the coupled dynamical equations in a suitable internal coordinates, the computational effort of END is competitive. 

Focus - Engineers usually like to realize their designs in hardware as soon as possible and to test prototypes and debug problems. With the ever inereasing time pressures on teams, it is even more important to deteet and eliminate as many problems in the design as early as possible, beeause they take mueh longer and eost mueh more to fix later. 

Carry out pre-production runs on new designs to prove the production set-up and debug the design. 

We have also set up a software library on the 32-bit minicomputer that allows us simulate the diffractometer operation as an aid to developing and debugging programs offline. 

But a model should surely tell us something about the business or design if we re allowed to do things any old way, what s the difference between a system that conforms to the model and one that doesn t The practical answer is that the information represented by each attribute should be in there somewhere. It should be possible to write a read-only function or procedure that retrieves the information from whatever weird format the designer has represented it. These abstraction or retrieval functions are a valuable aid to both documentation and debugging. (You ll find more about this in Chapter 6, Abstraction, Refinement, and Testing.)... 

The combination of all invariants for a class can be used in a single ok() function, which should evaluate to true after any external invocation of an operation on the object. Such a function provides a valuable sanity check on the state of a running applicatioa Together with operation specifications, it provides the basis for both testing and debugging. 

Simply pointing to the IDENTIFT hutton runs the rule system, which diagnoses the problem and provides advice on action to take to fix the life support system. The remainder of the screen is devoted to various switches and output windows that are used to build and debug the knowledge base.

It would be very difficult to make and debug such a functioning CSR system the first time. However, once one is made and debugged until it is sufficiently accurate, any number of copies could be replicated with ease and very cheaply. Merely insert the CSR inside an ordinary EM signal and record the resulting internally structured signal on a diskette or CD-ROM. Then replicate the diskette or CD-ROM, and the replicated signal will also have an internal replica of the CSR. So clones could be made for pennies per copy, without limit.36... 

B1 - B2 These cells contain the values of the variable names in cells A1-A2. The association of the numbers in B1-B2 with the names in A1-A2 is accomplished with the INSERTJMAMEJDEFINE command. (The syntax INSERT NAMEJDEFINE means to use the INSERT pull-down menu, followed by the DEFINE and NAME sub-menus. In many cases there are also convenient keyboard shortcuts that avoid actually using the pull-down menu.) As much as possible, it is important to define names that appear in subsequent formulas. It is very difficult to read and debug a spreadsheet that is programmed entirely with explicit cell references. The variable name for the annulus gap thickness Delta r is in A3 and the value is computed in B3 as = r.out - r in. 

The design of a desalination plant is usually a site-specific task. Pretreatment is the most important local design. It is also envisaged that when operators are insufficiently trained, the design and investment will be based invariably on exaggerated safety factors. Well-trained and experienced operators can increase desalination plant production by identifying and debugging bottlenecks. 

The other development related to troubleshooting of defects to provide guidance to test and debug start-up and also solve problems in operations that had been running well. These defects are considered qualitative in nature, because the machine cannot detect them, but needs operator judgement. The system forces the operator to define the problem in terms of occurrence (such as in one cavity), nonoccurrence (not in other symmetrical location), where did it occur (near the gate, etc.), and when it occurs (from time to time).
