  • System and method for presenting output from concurrent computing units
    Patent number: 9703515
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for a concurrent computing environment that presents the output generated by multiple concurrent computing units during and upon completion of their portions of a concurrent computing computation is discussed. The output from each concurrent computing unit may be directed to a single display where it is portioned into different regions of the display. The output from all of the concurrent computing units or a subset of the concurrent computing units may be shown in different arrangements. Blocks or lines of output from different concurrent computing units may appear in order of arrival at the display, or if precise timing references are available, in order of generation by the concurrent computing units. In either case the relative ordering of the outputs may be used to interpret the progress, performance and results of a concurrent computing computation.

  • System and method for targeting commands to concurrent computing units executing a concurrent computing process
    Patent number: 9405564
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for a concurrent computing environment that conveys the concurrent nature of a computing environment and allows a user to monitor the status of a concurrent process being executed on multiple concurrent computing units is discussed. The graphical user interface allows the user to target specific concurrent computer units to receive commands. The graphical user interface also alters the command prompt to reflect the currently targeted concurrent computing units.

  • Graphical interface for monitoring the status of concurrent computing units executing a concurrent computing process
    Patent number: 9069517
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for an interactive concurrent computing environment is discussed. The graphical interface conveys the concurrent nature of the computing environment and allows a user to monitor the status of the concurrent process being executed. The graphical interface may indicate the status of the process, the status of the various computing units of the process, or the status of groups of computing units. This allows the user to monitor the concurrent process as the process is executing including whether or not computing units of the concurrent process are idle, busy or stopped.

  • Graphical interface for grouping concurrent computing units executing a concurrent computing process
    Patent number: 7631168
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for an interactive concurrent computing environment that conveys the concurrent nature of the computing environment and allows a user to monitor the status of a concurrent process being executed on multiple concurrent computing units is discussed. The graphical user interface indicates the status of groups of instances of the concurrent computing process including whether the instances of the concurrent process are idle, busy or stopped.
