Performance visualization comprises techniques that aid developers and analysts in
improving the time and energy efficiency of their software. In this work, we discuss …

We present an overview of visualization tools for parallel systems focusing on parallel
debuggers, performance evaluation systems, and program visualization systems. Our goal …

The design, development, and application of Traceview, a general-purpose trace-
visualization tool that implements the trace-management and I/O features usually found in …

Debugging multi-agent systems (which are concurrent, distributed, and consist of complex
components) is difficult, yet crucial. We propose that the debugging process can be …

MPI is commonly used to write parallel programs for distributed memory parallel computers.
MPI‐CHECK is a tool developed to aid in the debugging of MPI programs that are written in …

Error detection and performance analysis of parallel programs is tedious and difficult,
especially in massively-parallel environments. Many concurrently executing and …

The performance of any type of system cannot be determined without knowing the workload,
that is, the requests being processed. Workload characterization consists of a description of …

The intent of program steering may be illustrated with the Following quote from [88]:
Scientists not only want to analyze data that results fro m super-computations; they also want …

Several performance visualization tools have demonstrated that helpful insights into parallel
performance can be gained through graphical displays. However, much of this work has …

Performance observability is the ability to accurately capture, analyze, and present
(collectively observe) information about the performance of a computer system. Advances in …
