Abstract

Measuring and evaluating the runtime of parallel programs is a difficult task. In this paper we present tools for performance evaluation and visualization in the distributed thread system (DTS), a programming environment for portable parallel applications. We describe the visualization of a parallel trace log as an execution graph using a novel layout algorithm which has been tailored to expose the structure of multithreaded applications.
