The GRED graphical editor for the GRADE parallel program development environment

A Review of Parallelization Tools and Introduction to Easypar

“…ParaAssist, Program visualization, IBM data explorer, Animation Choreographer [40], Meander, DEEP [13], GRED [14], Convit [46], VISO [48], I-Pigs [49] are first generation graphical assistance tools and Kremlin, Alchemist, Prism, Kismet, Easypar, Prospector [91]and Intel visualization tools are some example of second generation tools providing program visualization. Figure 4 shows detailed classification of the parallelization tools based on the three aspects presented in earlier sub section.…”

“…GRED [14] is the graphical editor for graphical programming environment GRADE (Graphical Application Development Environment). GRADE aims to provide easy to use and effective tool to develop general message passing application for heterogeneous architecture.…”

Associating composition of Petri net specifications with application designs in GRADE

“…For example, in case of a receive icon the code must be simple the name of the program variable(s) where the data to be received are to be stored while, a text block icon may contain text code without any restrictions except the lack of inter-process communication. Detailed description of the GRED editor and that of different elements of the GRAPNEL language can be found in [18] and [17], respectively.…”

“…In this paper we propose the integration of formal methods with software engineering methods, in order to improve testing and debugging of parallel applications. Due to the lack of space, works related to the GRADE environment and composition of Petri nets are omitted here but they are discussed in [18] and [25], respectively. The proposed methodology takes advantage of the direct association of specification and program components with GRADE components.…”

Application Monitoring in the Grid with GRM and PROVE

“…Components of the P-GRADE program development environment are the GRAPNEL graphical parallel programming language, the GRED graphical editor to write parallel applications in GRAPNEL, the GRP2C precompiler to produce the C code with PVM or MPI function calls from the graphical program, the DIWIDE distributed debugger, the PROVE execution and performance visualisation tool and the GRM distributed monitor. For detailed overview of the tools in P-GRADE, see [6] and [7]. GRM is described in [3], while PROVE is presented in [4].…”
