Searching an internal IBM "Solutions" database, I found more
than 30 packages claiming to offer some form of graphical 
visualization for the RISC system.  I'll not repeat the list
here, to save bandwidth and honor the Internet strictures
against marketing, but your local IBM representative should
be able to provide the information.
 
One set of visualization tools which I'd like to call to your
attention are the XImage and XDataSlice packages from the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) here
in Champaign-Urbana.  These programs are freely available
and can be obtained through anonymous ftp over the Internet
from 128.174.20.50... look in /XImage/bin and /XDataSlice/rs6000.
