vite: A visual trace explorer

SYNOPSIS

vite

vite -h

vite [-f|-a] file_path [-e export_path] [-t [time_init]:[time_end]]

DESCRIPTION

ViTE is a visual trace explorer. It is a useful tool for profiling and debugging parallel programs (multi\(hyprocess or multi\(hycore).

ViTE reads program execution trace data from file (currently in Pajé trace format) and display it in a graphical interface. Program execution data could be a state (drawn as a colored rectangle - color depends of the kind of state), an event (drawn as a green disc) or a communication between two processes (drawn as a white arrow).

OPTIONS

ViTE accepts the following options:

-h

Display help.

-f file_path

Open the file_path file.

-a file_path

Open the file_path file and display it entirely.

-e export_path

Export the opened trace file (with -f or -a option) to the export_path file in SVG format.

-t [time_init]:[time_end]

Just parse trace from time_init to time_end.

If time_init is missed, trace will be parsed from the minimum time to time_end.

If time_end is missed, trace will be parsed from time_init to the maximum time.

AUTHORS

ViTE was created by a group of french engineering school students for the INRIA research center.
