Abstract

An integrated programming environment for the M/sup 3/ multiprocessor is discussed.Three tools support the software development cycle of a parallel program, including theprogramming, configuration, and debugging/performance measurement phases.Programmer support for performance analysis has been a primary motivation for thesystem. The sources of performance loss are identified and the ways in which thisinformation is gathered and analyzed are described. As a case study, a fast maze routeralgorithm is used to show the functionality of the different tools. The M/sup 3/environment is compared with other state-of-the-art projects.
