TSGL: A tool for visualizing multithreaded behavior

Published in SIGCSE '19: Proceedings of the 50th ACM Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, 2018

This paper describes the thread safe graphics library (TSGL), a tool by which an educator can add graphics calls to a working multithreaded program in order to make visible the underlying parallel behavior.
