Also, think about 32 or more threads printing breakpoint announcments. 
:) As all
UPC threads execute the same code, but work on different sets of data,
you look at all of them as only one program.

UPC has a "upc_barrier" statement that all threads need to arrive before
going forward. At that point your shared space is consistent and it is a 
natural
place to stop.
