The PARvis Environment -- Performance Visualization of Parallel Programs

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.

environment

PARvis is implemented in ANSI C and uses the OSF/Motif libraries. The
current implementation already supports a variety of different
hardware platforms (IBM RS/6000, Sun Sparc, DEC MIPS computers
(Ultrix), and Alpha systems).
