There's no question you could set a boatload of breakpoints with a 20-petaflop supercomputer, but you probably need more than that when developing parallelized software for it. You might also resort to fast conditional watchpoints, compiled expressions, asynchronous thread control, and full post-mortem debugging capabilities, and that's just for starters.
