Abstract :
A Motif based graphical tool XTracker is described. XTracker can show Gannt-like charts of the activities on each node or it can show the event messages as traffic between simulation objects. XTracker can take its data from sequential simulation runs and simulate a parallel execution under a number of simulation methods. XTracker can act as a performance modeling tool
