Thanks, David

All,
here is a description of what we currently have for the infoviz demo.
Attached are two "screendumps" of the current state of the "infoviz"
component. The first snapshot shows the full screen of this application and
visualizes data transfer (right now based on traceroute) between Argonne
and the Monash university in Australia. The little spheres on the lines
drawn along the route move and their movement corresponds roughly to the
speed with which the data is transferred. If you look closely, you will see
a little yellow cross over Monash --- that's the cursor. Positioning the
cursor over a resource causes the information about the resource to be
displayed in the upper left corner. More of that can be seen on the second
snapshot. This one zeroes in on a region of the full screen to show just
North America (that's what we will be doing) and shows connectivity from
Argonne to various places. Again, positioning the cursor over Argonne
causes information about resources to be displayed. In this particular
instance only the information about Access Grid nodes is displayed, but for
SC this will be replaced by information relevant to the demo. Of the
functionality that is absolutely critical to have the only thing it does
not do yet is change color of the node when we start the computation.
Interface: this is still in progress. There are two kinds of interfaces:
the viz application interfacing netlogger (the event database that
everybody sends their information to) and the interface between the
netlogger and our demo. The latter is pretty straightforward and I am
designing it right now based on the feedback I got from you about the
information you would like to see visualized. The former is more
general-purpose and is being worked on by somebody else in our group. I am
told they should have something within a week and I am reasonably confident
that they will.
