Viva is an open-source tool used to analyze traces (in the Paje File Format) registered during the execution of parallel or distributed applications. The tool also serves as a sandbox to the development of new visualization techniques. Current features include:
- Temporal integration using dynamic time-intervals
- Spatial aggregation through hierarchical traces
- Interactive Graph Visualization with a force-directed algorithm, with viva
- Squarified Treemap to compare processes behavior on scale, with vv_treemap
Viva is released under the GNU General Public Licence and is developed as part of the french INFRA-SONGS ANR project.
