This project has successfully developed a system for the monitoring of parallel programs that is centered around the user.
Users have control over the whole monitoring and visualization process.
They actively control what is measured, they control what they want to have visualized and they control the dynamics of this visualization. An alternative user interface approach has been chosen, that focuses on so-called novice users. Their needs are explicitly supported. Easy comprehension of the parallel concepts is provided by taking up a metaphor based approach, good remembrance by a small visual alphabet, that is used both in the selection and the visualization phase. Further activities in the realm of monitoring and visualization of results could include the development of an agent-based visualization system.
