Description
ViTE is a visual trace explorer. It is a useful tool for profiling and debugging parallel programs
(multi‐process or multi‐core).
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).
Unlike vite, vite-vbo uses OpenGL's feature VBO (Vertex Buffer Object), which can improve performance of
rendering, but can require more GPU memory.
Name
vite, vite-vbo - a visual trace explorer
Options
ViTE accepts the following options:
-h Display help.
-ffile_path
Open the file_path file.
-afile_path
Open the file_path file and display it entirely.
-eexport_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.
