Abstract
This paper describes how we can use a spreadsheet program as an inexpensive and readily available tool to help students understand the execution behavior of parallel programs. Using the proposed method a performance prediction model can be created in a matter of minutes and the performance of the parallel system can be visualized and animated by using standard three-dimensional surface plots and user interface control objects.
