An Algorithm Visualization Tool on the Reconfigurable Mesh

Many parallel algorithms on the reconfigurable mesh have been developed so far. However, it is hard to understand the behavior of these parallel algorithms, mainly because the bus topology dynamically changes during the execution of an algorithm. In this work, we present the visual mesh system (VMesh ), a tool for visualizing algorithms on the reconfigurable mesh. The main objective of the VMesh is to provide a comprehensive environment for algorithm visualization and development. The VMesh has shown to be a valuable tool for studying and understanding the behavior of parallel algorithms on the reconfigurable mesh
