发明名称 Floating highlights on a computer program code display
摘要 A computer program displayed as text on a graphical display has each line of code divided into segments that can be highlighted. The code is being executed by a number of processors in parallel. A highlight, preferably a background color, which causes a code line segment to look like a large cursor, is associated with each processor. When a processor is executing a line of the program code, the highlight associated with that processor is used to highlight or light up the segment associated with that processor on the line of code being executed by the processor. In a preferred embodiment, the segments for a given processor are of equal lengths and aligned in vertical tracks. This gives the visual effect of the colored background moving along the track as the processor executes the lines of code. Since there are many processors executing the code, there are many tracks on the screen. There can be more than one processor (colored cursor) associated with a single track.
