OVERVIEW

Xab is a set of tools which provide for the visual (X based) analysis
and debugging of PVM programs.  The basic idea behind Xab is to
instrument every PVM call so it sends a message to a monitoring process
which can either display the event or save it in file for later
analysis.

WHERE

You can obtain a paper describing the Xab tool and a the source code
