The PARvis Environment -- Performance Visualization of Parallel Programs <author> <version> <abstract> PARvis is a visualization environment which translates a given trace file into a variety of graphical views, e.g., state diagrams, activity charts, time-line displays, and statistics. On the Intel Paragon, PARvis takes the ipd-generated trace file and extracts the graphical information automatically; there is no need to change the source code in any way. Furthermore, debug-mode compilation is not required. <description><url>http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/~nagel/PARvis/PARvis.html</url> <reference><url>http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/~nagel/PARvis/bibliography3_9.html#SECTION0009000000000000000</url> <contact>Wolfgang E.

The current implementation already supports a variety of different hardware platforms (IBM RS/6000, Sun Sparc, DEC MIPS computers (Ultrix), and Alpha systems). <method> <application> <comments> </urc>
