Research on parallel computing performance visualization based on MPI

With the development of parallel technology and application, the performance analysis and visualization of parallel computing is one of the most important parts. This paper presents a parallel computing performance visualization system which is developed to visualize and analyze the speedup and efficiency of parallel computing. We visualize and analyze the results of magnetotelluric parallel forward modeling program based on MPI which used finite element method. It succeeds in collecting the data of program execution time and communication time, visualizing and analyzing the speedup and efficiency.
