Abstract
A system for generating a 'where graph' for a parallel processing system comprising a parallel processing array controlled by a control processor. The processing array comprises a plurality of processing elements each processing a program comprising a main routine and a plurality of subroutines, the main routine calling at least one subroutine and at least some of said subroutines calling others of said subroutines. The control processor determines a consolidated program routine sequence identifying sequences of routines extending from said main routine to a current routine being processed by said at least some of said processing elements and generates and displays, on, for example, a video display, the program routine sequence in graph form. The graph comprises a plurality of graph nodes, each representing a routine, with the graph nodes being interconnected to depict the consolidated program routine sequence.
