Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a performance visualization of a parallel dependency graph in computer animation, the method comprising: receiving a data file comprising a plurality of runtime evaluation entries for a plurality of nodes of a parallel dependency graph, wherein runtime evaluation entries comprise a node identification and a runtime duration; determining a concurrency level for each node of the plurality of nodes of the parallel dependency graph based on a number of concurrently executing nodes in the data file; generating a node block for each node of the plurality of nodes; determining a size for each node block based on the runtime duration of a respective node; determining a position along at least one axis for each node block based on the concurrency level of a respective node, wherein positions along the at least one axis of node blocks represents the concurrency level of respective nodes; and generating a performance visualization with one or more entire node blocks with the respective determined size and at the respective determined position along the at least one axis.
