Evaluating parallel and heterogeneous programs written in OpenCL can be challenging. Commonly, simulators can be used to aid the programmer in this regard. One of the fundamental requirements of any simulator is to provide traces, reports, and debugging information in a coherent and unambiguous format. Although these traces or reports contain a lot of detailed information about the logical and physical transactions within a simulated structure, they are usually extremely large and hard to analyze. What is needed is an appropriate visualization tool to accompany the simulator to make OpenCL execution process easier to understand and analyze.
