Abstract

Recently, many efficient parallel algorithms on the reconfigurable mesh have been developed. How ever, it is not easy to understand the behavior of a reconfigurablmeesh. This is mainly because the bus topology can change dynamically during the execution of algorithm. In this work, we have developed JRM, a Java applet for visualizing parallel algorithm on the reconfigurable mesh to help on understanding and evaluating it. Thisapplet accepts an algorithm written in C-like language and displays the behavior of it graphically. It also displays much information to evaluate the exact performance of an algorithm. Because this softw are has been developed as a Java applet, it can run on any operating system with standard web browser.
