The current state of people producing quick-and-dirty, overview-like visualizations from their running and run simulations seems to be that everyone has their own scripts/tools, usually just barely doing the specific task they are designed to do. It would be beneficial to have a set of common tools helping with at least some parts of this process of a) retrieving parts of the files, and b) producing some overview of the state of a simulation. The task in question is not to create high-quality plots for e.g. publications, but more a monitoring/debugging kind of overview.
To get this started, everyone interested is asked to shortly describe below what they currently do in that respect.
- Frank Löffler
- rsync (smaller) files by hand, use gnuplot/ygraph/VisIt to look at current results often using e.g. scripts for plotting multiple things with gnuplot
- I would like to see support to obtain relevant files easily (simfactory comes to mind), and to have some kind of tool generating a short overview of the state of the simulation. An HTML page would probably not be a bad idea, and ideally this should also be able to run on (most) production machines, so that copying the actual data files would not be necessary.
- Tanja Bode
- Current: Collection of bash/python/gnuplot/ygraph/VisIt scripts automatically generate a variety of interesting plots and generate an internal webpage summarizing the most interesting. Our script for VisIt animations has been generalized to take a command-line description of the quantity to be plotted so its flexibility is maximized.
- Interests: I would like to see support for dynamically set HTML summaries of a run and its status. Perhaps by specifying certain basic system properties (0-2 BHs, with/without hydro, presence of non-BH compact object) to select from subsets of standard plots and a few animations. Having more flexibility in the animation choices on top of this as we have locally would be useful. Having these function on a cluster would be a plus, but not necessary.
