Title:
Toward Flexible Control of the Temporal Mapping from Concurrent Program
Events to Animations
Authors:
Eileen Kraemer

Abstract:
As parallel and distributed computers become more widely available and
used, the already important process of understanding and debugging
concurrent programs will take on even greater importance. We believe that
visualization can help in the process. In this paper we discuss
heretofore unaddressed issues in the visualization of concurrent
programs, and present the Animation Choreographer. The Animation
Choreographer allows users to view, manipulate, and explore the set of
alternate feasible orderings of the program execution under study, both
through the Choreographer interface and in the context of the selected
visualizations, thus providing the user with a variety of temporal
perspectives on the computation.
