| This paper describes is an interactive graphical tool for assisting the specification, design, visualisation, simulation, and animationof synchronous networks of communicating deterministic sequential processes. The tool is very useful for understanding concurrency, analysing various aspects of distributed message-passing algorithms, illustrating parallel programming paradigms, detecting deadlocks, identifying computational bottlenecks, and estimating the performance of a class of parallel algorithms on a variety of MIMD parallel machines with different characteristics. |
