Developing robust techniques for visualizing the perfor­mance behavior of parallel programs that can scale in problem size and/or number of processors remains a chal­lenge. In this paper. we present several performance visu­alization techniques based on the context of data-parallel programming and execution that demonstrate good visual scalability properties. These techniques are a result of uti­lizing the structural and distribution semantics of data­parallel programs as well as sophisticated three-dimen­sional graphics. A categorization and examples of scalable performance visualizations are given for programs written in Dataparal/el C and pC++.
