http://jkff.info/presentations/two-visualization-tools.pdf 2011/4/30 Eugene Kirpichov <ekirpic...@gmail.com>: > Hello fellow haskellers, > > I announce the release of timeplot-0.3.0, the "analyst's swiss army > knife for visualizing ad-hoc log files". > > Links: > * http://jkff.info/presentation/two-visualization-tools - a > presentation saying what the tools are all about and giving plenty of > graphical examples on cluster computing use cases. At the end of the > presentation there's also a couple of slides about installation. It is > a little bit outdated, it corresponds to versions just before 0.3.0. > * http://hackage.haskell.org/package/timeplot > * http://github.com/jkff/timeplot > * The sibling tool, splot - for visualizing the activity of many > concurrent processes - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/splot and > http://github.com/jkff/splot . It has also gotten a couple of new > features since my last announcement. > > The major new feature of tplot is the introduction of subplots, the > <<'within' plots>>. > It allows one to plot data from several sub-tracks on one track of the graph: > - several line- or dot-plots > - several plots of sums or cumulative sums, perhaps stacked (to see > how the sub-tracks contribute to the total sum - e.g. if your log > speaks about different types of overhead and you wish to see how they > contribute to the total) > - stacked "activity count" plot - a generalization of the previous > "activity count" plot, which allows you to, given a log saying like > "Machine started servicing job JOB1 ... Machine finished servicing job > JOB1" etc, plot how many machines are servicing each job at any > moment, in a stacked fashion - so, how loads by different jobs > contribute to the whole cluster's load. The "activity frequency" plot > plots the same on a relative scale. > > The syntax is, for example: "within[.] dots" or "within[.] acount" or > even "within[.] duration cumsum stacked" etc. > > Note that these are of course just example use cases and the tool is > universal, it is not in any sense specialized to clusters, jobs, > overheads or actually even to logs. > I'd like to encourage you to give it a try and look around for a use case :) > > If you do give the tool a try, please tell me if something goes wrong, > be it an installation problem or a bug (the version is fresh released, > so this is quite possible). > > -- > Eugene Kirpichov > Principal Engineer, Mirantis Inc. http://www.mirantis.com/ > Editor, http://fprog.ru/ > -- Eugene Kirpichov Principal Engineer, Mirantis Inc. http://www.mirantis.com/ Editor, http://fprog.ru/ _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
