Woo hoo! The reporter has been much much more useful since the DB optimizations, though I wonder if in the next batch of changes we could also have #296 (a few more columns are needed)? (Not really related to visibility, but I thought I'd speak my mind while there seems to be another round of database stuff going on :-))
Stats visualization would be interesting on virtually any column. Particularly combinations of these: * runtime_parameters * configure_options (broken down by individual options) * bitness * threadedness * np * platform * hardware How much focus will be on the interface for generating whatever visualization versus creating more static pictures? It would be nice to have a flexible dashboard of some kind that would allow us to generate ad hoc visualizations on any combination of database columns. -Ethan On Thu, Jan/10/2008 10:29:32AM, Josh Hursey wrote: > I met with Joseph Cottam (Grad student in my lab at IU) > yesterday about MTT visualization.
