Visualization support for Ibis runtime systems and Grid applications
نویسنده
چکیده
The Ibis middleware is especially suitable for parallel scientific computations and simulations on a computational grid. Visualization of these applications provides better insights. However, Ibis has no support for visualization. In this thesis, we present the Ibis Visualization Package, which extends the Ibis middleware with support for interactive visualization of scientific computations, monitoring and simulations. We describe the architecture and the implementation details and also present four example applications. Based on measurements with two of these example applications, we show that the Ibis Visualization Package efficiently reduces data in order to speed up a visualization.

Developing Java Grid Applications with Ibis
Ibis is a programming environment for the development of grid applications in Java. We aim to support a wide range of applications and parallel platforms, so our example programs should also go beyond small benchmarks. In this paper we describe a number of larger applications we have developed to evaluate Ibis’ suitability for writing grid applications: a cellular automata simulator, a solver f...
متن کاملIbis: a Java-centric Programming Environment for Computational Grids
Ibis [vNMH02] is a Java-centric Grid programming environment for distributed supercomputing applications. Java’s high portability allows parallel applications to run on a heterogeneous grid without requiring porting or recompilation. A major problem in using Java for high-performance computing, however, is the inferior performance and limited expressiveness of Java’s Remote Method Invocation (R...
متن کاملSynthetic Grid Workloads with Ibis, KOALA, and GrenchMark
Grid computing is becoming the natural way to aggregate and share large sets of heterogeneous resources. However, grid development and acceptance hinge on proving that grids reliably support real applications. A step in this direction is to combine several grid components into a demonstration and testing framework. This paper presents such an integration effort, in which three research prototyp...
متن کاملReal-Time Performance Monitoring, Adaptive Control, and Interactive Steering of Computational Grids
The scope of high-performance computing is rapidly expanding from single parallel systems to clusters of heterogeneous sequential and parallel systems. Moreover, as applications become more complex, they grow more irregular, with data-dependent execution behavior, and more dynamic, with time-varying resource demands. Consequently, even small changes in application structure can lead to large ch...
