abstract

This project involves a set of animation views developed for
illustrating the execution of Pthread programs on KSR parallel machines. The
animations depict the individual threads and their movement through the
functions of the program, and it shows other program features such as barriers
and mutexes.

The support platforms required for this are a
KSR machine for gathering program data, and a UNIX workstation running the X
Window System with Motif and a C++ compiler with templates, for the
animation library. From the FTP site mentioned above, you will need to retrieve
the files gthread.KSRtracing.tar.Z and
gthread.Animations.tar.Z.
