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 debu

โฆ Synopsis
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 step, focus is refined to include just those program sections or processors which have been determined to be bottlenecks. We present our experience in using this methodology to uncover performance problems in selected applications. C 1993 Academic Press. Inc.

We describe a methodology for developing high performance programs running on clusters of SMP nodes. The SMP cluster programming methodology is based on a small prototype kernel (Simple) of collective communication primitives that make efficient use of the hybrid shared and message-passing environme
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
## Abstract This paper presents an application of a method for finding the global solution to a problem in integers with a separable objective function of a very general form. This report shows that there is a relationship between an integer problem with a separable nonlinear objective function and
