Abstract
Representation of Parallel Program Performance Oscar Na'im, Tony Hey, and Ed Zaluska Abstract Performance is a critical issue in current massively parallel processors. However, delivery of adequate performance is not automatic and performance evaluation tools are required in order to help the programmer to understand the behaviour of a parallel program. In recent years, a wide variety of tools have been developed for this purpose including tools for monitoring and evaluating performance and visualization tools. However, these tools do not provide an abstract representation of performance. Massively parallel processors can generate a huge amount of performance data and sophisticated methods for representing and displaying this data (e.g. visual and aural) are required. Performance views are not scalable in general and do not represent an abstraction of the performance data. The Do-Loop-Surface display is proposed as an abstract representation of the performance of a partic...
