这篇文章的玛丽目的是演示使用三维计算机图形可视化无形的软件信息，重点是并行/并发计算机系统的性能监控。从两个不同的角度来处理这些问题。输出媒体的表现力和用户认知前者描述了2D输出媒体的局限性。后者指的是当在多窗口环境中使用2D表示时用户的认知负荷。我们展示了如何使用一个三维框架来最小化这些问题。一个原型可视化系统VOGUE已经被开发出来。一个三维框架被用来可视化两个并行的、并发的计算机系统的执行模式，一个电力控制系统和一个并行的机器人系统。我们展示了我们的框架的有效性，并描述了3D框架在其他类型软件改造中的应用。
The pr]mary objective of this article is to demonstrate the use of 3D-computer graphics m visualizing shapeless software information by focusing on performance monitormg of parallel/concurrent computer systems. Issues are addressed from two different perspectives. expressiveness of output media and user cognition The former describes the limitations of 2D output media. The latter refers to a user’s cognitive load when us]ng 2D representations in a multlple-window environment. We show how these problems can be minim]zed by using a 3D framework A prototype vlsuabzation system called VOGUE has been developed A 3D framework is used to visualize the execution pattern of two parallel,’concurrent computer systems an electrlc power control system and a parallel mampulator system Thrmgb these visuahzations, we show the effectiveness of our framework The apphcations of 3D frameworks to other kinds of software reformation are also described.
