You may consider Tape, available from:

	ftp://imag.imag.fr/pub/APACHE/TAPE/

It consists of a preprocessor for your PVM sources, a run-time library,  
and a converter which allows the trace files it generates to be converted  
to the PICL format for futher visualization with ParaGraph. Some students  
are using it here and it seems to work.
