A tool for algorithm visualization 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 algorithms, because the bus topology is dynamically changing during the execution. This paper describes VMesh, a tool for visualizing parallel algorithms on the reconfigurable mesh. The purpose of the VMesh is to provide a comprehensive environment for development, visualization and debugging of algorithms. This system has proven to be useful for studying and understanding the behavior of parallel algorithms on the reconfigurable mesh.
