Abstract
The great challenge in parallel computing is to make a task of programming parallel machines easy while not sacrificing the efficiency of target code. One of the successful methodologies is to start from a high-level specification of the functional behaviour of a program by applying a sequence of optimising transformations tuned for a particular architecture to generate a specification of the operational behaviour of a parallel program. We believe that visualisation is an excellent way to bring this methodology to a wider programming community. In this paper we describe an interactive visual system which integrates 3D graphics, animation, and direct manipulation techniques into parallel programming environment. Keywords: parallel program development, algorithm analysis, data dependency graph, domain morphisms, visualisation. 1 Introduction Parallel program design and analysis is a complex activity, where many difficulties stem from the principle inadequacy of pure textual formalism ...
