Enhancement of Environments for Analysis of Trace Files of Parallel Programs

Abstract

One of the important phases of parallel programming is performance analysis. Trace data provides information about where time is spent in programs. Since this data is huge, a tool for analyzing and visualizing the trace data is convenient and necessary for performance analysis of parallel programs. Environments which provide such a faclility are many and varied. In this report, we discuss our work on the enhancement of one such environment for accessibility over more platforms and better visualization capabilities. The environment is Pablo.
