PSEE: Parallel System Evaluation Environment

Programs for parallel computers of distributed memory are difficult to write, understand, evaluate and debug. The design and performance evaluation of algorithms is much complex than the conventional sequential one. This short paper describes the PSEE (Parallel System Evaluation Environment), an interactive graphical environment, which permits to study the behaviour of parallel distributed memory systems. PSEE is an easy-to-use environment that enables parallel distributed memory systems programmers take decisions about the behaviour program and parallel computer in terms such as: scalability, tuning and performance of the underlying parallel machine.
