Intel Corporation is interested in creating tools that allow software developers to easily assess the performance or correctness of threaded programs. First, the clinic team explored ways to visualize aspects of threaded execution that would allow developers to easily diagnose performance or correctness issues. Subsequently, the team devised intuitive visualizations of these programs using data collected during program run. The project’s end product is an Eclipse SDK plug-in that encapsulates proof-of-concept versions of the team’s visualization ideas.
