✦ Synopsis

An application-specific visualization of a parallel program presents the inherent application domain, semantics, and data being manipulated by the program in a manner natural to one's understanding of the program. In this paper we discuss why application-specific views are necessary for program debugging, and we list several requirements and challenges that a system for application-specific viewing should meet. We also introduce an animation methodology particularly well-suited for applicationspecific visualizations, and we describe program animations developed using the methodology.

We introduce a new set of views for displaying the progress of loosely synchronous computations involving large numbers of processors on large problems. We suggest a methodology for employing these views in succession in order to gain progressively more detail concerning program behavior. At each st

Several types of parallelism can be exploited in logic programs while preserving correctness and efficiency, i.e. ensuring that the parallel execution obtains the same results as the sequential one and the amount of work performed is not greater. However, such results do not take into account a numb
