Viva - Trace Visualization Tool

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.
