New Tool for Debugging Parallel Applications in Visual Studio 11

| Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Microsoft has released the Parallel Visualization Pack for Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview. Built to extend the functionality of the new Parallel Watch Window, the pack includes visual tools to aid in debugging multithreaded applications.

The Parallel Watch Window allows developers to view objects and values across all the threads in an application. Threads can be sorted, flagged or frozen while the rest of the application executes. The Visualization Pack adds a set of four visualizers to the Parallel Watch Window:

Heat Map
The Heat Map displays values on either a clustered, linear or logarithmic scale, to help spot uneven distribution of data across threads.

Histogram
A graph that groups the value of an expression with the number of occurrences across threads. It also allows the user to display any undefined values in the application.

Scatterplot
This visualizer creates a graph of data on an x-y axis to help spot outliers.
