Parallel program design in visual environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The great challenge in parallel computing is to make a task of programming parallel machines easy while not sacriicing the eeciency of target code. One of the successful methodologies is to start from a high-level speciication of the functional behaviour of a program by applying a sequence of optimising transformations tuned for a particular architecture to generate a spec-iication 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.

متن کاملSupporting Design Patterns in a Visual Parallel Data-flow Programming Environment
We propose the notion of visual design pattern (VDP), which is a visual abstraction representing design aspects in parallel dataow programs. VDP serves as a exible and high-level structure of reuse for visual parallel programming. We introduced the support for this notion into the visual parallel programming environment, KLIEG, allowing de nition and use of patterns with simple and easy interface.
متن کاملAn experiment in tool integration: The DDBG parallel and distributed debugger
This paper discusses the development of a debugging tool for parallel programs showing how the requirements posed by high-level tools for parallel program development have influenced the design of the debugging system since its early stages of development. We concentrate our attention upon the interfacing of the debugger with other tools of a parallel software engineering environment, namely a ...
