A visualization tool (100) for creating graphic displays of trace data produced by a parallel computer program execution monitoring system. The visualization tool contains a display monitor (105), input devices (120), a mass storage device (125), and a computer system (115). The computer system further contains a graphics processor (135) having a data processor (210) for converting the trace data into data structures. Application logic (215) stores all the data structures in an event history storage device (230). A subset of those data structures are converted into a pixel map and stored in a buffer. A graphics display generator (130) produces a display (300) on the monitor containing the pixel map from the buffer. The display has a pre-selected display format. Typically, multiple displays are generated through using a plurality of application logic. In this manner, multiple, synchronous displays are produced. Each display is synchronized to a time-varying display having a time reference line vertically oriented through the display. As such, each of the displays are synchronized to a time represented by the time reference line. <IMAGE> |
