Abstract

The transition from single core to multicore processors has lead to a greater need for programmers to become familiar with concurrent programming. In particular there is a need to help programmers new to concurrent programming to understand how to utilize multiprocessor systems. We feel that visualization tools could be extremely helpful to these programmers. In this paper we present a novel design for a program trace visualizer we call Beat.
