Patent number: 9159149Abstract: Data transfers within and between nodes in a distributed computing environment are visualized. In one aspect, the nodes are represented as geometrical shapes. The first part of the geometrical shape represents logic of the corresponding node. The second part of the geometrical shape represents storage of the corresponding node. A line connecting the first part and the second part represents data transfer between logic of a node and storage of a node. Both inter-node and intra-node transfers may be shown.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Interntional Business Machines CorporationInventors: Stephen A.

Patent number: 9019276Abstract: Visualization used to show resource usage over time by different entities or jobs allows a user to see the resource usage of entities over time. Entities or jobs may be shown as horizontal bundles, possibly expanding or contracting within the constraints of the capacity of the system. Bundles can expand or contract but maintain continuity in a direction, for example, a horizontal continuity. The visualization or layout in one embodiment is updated not only for new incoming events, but also retroactively for past events, thus achieving smooth horizontal bundles as much as possible.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Wim De Pauw, Peter K.

Patent number: 8954859Abstract: System, method and computer program product for generating a GUI that facilitates the management of real and/or virtual images on computing machines in a computing environment. The system and method provides for an interactive visualization of virtual images (machines) and the software components included in each virtual image or real image. According to a consolidating and clustering processes, the images are bundled and displayed in a dendogram to show a hierarchy of the similarity between images. Further, software components are represented by small coded cells and organized into logical groupings. The system and method provides for user interactive functionality that facilitates the gathering of details on certain aspects of the images and/or components. The end result is a software program that facilitates user's ability to consolidate and manage real and virtual images.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2011Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Wim De Pauw, Glenn Ammons

Patent number: 8856766Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method of displaying a data flow, wherein a description of a data flow application to be displayed is received. The data flow application includes nodes and edges connecting the nodes, wherein the nodes represent operators and the edges represent data connections for data flowing between the operations. A reason that a user is to view the data flow and/or a user constraint on a complexity of the data flow application to be displayed is determined with a processor; and, the time required to render a display of the data flow application is estimated. A transformed representation of the data flow application is created with the processor. The transformed representation is created based upon the user reason, the user constraint, the estimated time of rendering, and/or a layout strategy. The transformed representation is displayed on a graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew Lawrence Frenkiel, Henrique Andrade, Bugra Gedik, Michael Donald Pfeifer, Wim De Pauw

Patent number: 8656369Abstract: A method is provided for tracing dataflow in a distributed computing application. For example, the method includes incrementally advancing a dataflow in a dataflow path of one or more dataflow paths according to two or more directives encoded in two or more data messages. The method further includes performing the two or more directives. The dataflow path includes one or more operators including at least one merge operator operative to merge the two or more data messages and merge the two or more directives. One or more of the incrementally advancing of the dataflow and the performing of the two or more directives are implemented as instruction code performed on a processor device.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2010Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul V.
