Logging in a Computational Steering Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Logging of input and output variables is very useful in computational steering. In this paper we describe how we added logging functionality to a computational steering environment developed at CWI. We show how a 2D interface can be augmented with logging by using the third dimension for the display of the logged variables. The user specifies which graphical representations of variables must be logged, and this log is displayed together with the current state of the simulation. Two examples show that logging in computational steering gives more insight in the simulation, that it can be used for monitoring, and that it can be used to undo erroneous actions.

Computational Steering
Computational steering is the online management of the execution of an application and its resources for the purpose of either performance improvement or application exploration. Generally, visualizations are used to provide the user with insight into the state and behavior of the underlying system, and as a feedback mechanism, enabling users to gauge the effectiveness of these parameter adjust...

متن کاملTowards a Distributed Computational Steering Environment based on CORBA
This paper presents the first step toward a computational steering environment based on CORBA. This environment, called EPSN , allows the control, the data exploration and the data modification for numerical simulations involving an iterative process. In order to be as generic as possible, we introduce an abstract model of steerable simulations. This abstraction allows us to build steering clie...
