Abstract
We present a toolkit of monitoring and performance analysis facilities together with sample monitoring sessions and results of performance analysis of three parallel programs running under PVM on networked workstations. A trace file collected by Tape/PVM is converted into SDDF metaformat and then it is visualized with Pablo based tool. Performance is analyzed also with a set of metrics.
