ABSTRACT:
A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a way of gathering performance data during execution of an application executing on clustered machines. This data is then presented to the user in a way that makes it east to determine what variables and situations to change in order to improve performance. A described embodiment displays the color of displayed vertical bands in accordance with how much a particular call is contributing to the effect of communication time, latency, and bandwidth.
