An approach to immersive performance visualization of parallel and wide-area distributed applications

Complex, distributed applications pose new challenges for performance analysis and optimization. This paper outlines an online approach to performance analysis where developers are active participants, using integrated measurement and immersive performance visualization to tune parallel and distributed applications.
