Abstract

In this paper approaches to the evaluation of Software Visualization for Parallel Computing are considered on the examples of representation of call graphs and execution traces of parallel programs. The concept of visualization metaphor is described. The visualization metaphors using to depict call graphs and execution traces are surveyed. The validity of visualization techniques is considered on basis of analysis of metaphor properties, Shneiderman’s scheme and other approaches to the evaluation of metaphors and views.
