Simulation Monitoring System Using AVS

Abstract

A simulation monitoring systcm has bccn dcvclopcd to visualizc ongoing numerical simulations on supercomputers or workstations. The output data for visualization arc transfcrrcd from thc calculation scrvcr to thc visualization server and visualized automatically by the monitoring system. Visualization is performed by AVS on UNIX or WINDOWS environment. Modification of simulation program is not ncccssary, and thc monitoring systcm is applicd for both interactive and batch process of numerical simulations.

Remote collaboration system based on large scale simulation

“…An example is a real time monitoring in which graphic routines are directly inserted in main program and results are simultaneously obtained synchronized with the simulation [3]. However, such a method is not always efficient especially in the case of large scale simulation lasting long time.…”

Remote Collaboration System Based on the Monitoring of Large Scale Simulation “ SIMON” – A New Approach Enhancing Collaboration –

“…This approach is different from that of post processing where data analysis is performed after the end of the simulation. This is also different from real time monitoring where graphic routines are directly inserted in the program and the results are simultaneously obtained during the simulation [4][5][6]. We refer to this concept as update processing.…”
