A Steering and Visualization Toolkit for Distributed Applications

Abstract—Parallel and high performance computing has enabled great strides to be made in advancing science and solving large problems. However, this progress is limited by the lack of needed tools and the difficulty of programming and running parallel applications. Specifically, there is a lack of needed steering and visualization tools, which can be easily integrated in existing applications. This paper presents the design of a steering and visualization toolkit to address this deficit. Keywords: distributed computing, steering, visualization
