[ptp-dev] Suggestions for implementing LML system viee for PE JAXB resou

[Dave Wootton <dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to figure out what I need
to do in order for my PE JAXB resource manager to effectively handle LML
status views when the user's application is using a large number of nodes
in the cluster, and where displaying status for all those nodes will affect
Eclipse performance.

With PE, I have no information about
which nodes are in use until the application starts since PE uses either
a host file or a back end resource manager such as LoadLeveler to handle
node allocation at job submit time. I also have no information at all about
node topology, at least in the hostfile case.

So I think the default action is that
I need to arbitrarily group nodes into groups of 100 nodes, so taht if
I was using 500 nodes, the initiial view would be 5 elements representing
groups of 100 nodes, and where the user could zoom in to see detail of
those 100 nodes.

One idea that I had about better grouping
was to do something where I apply a regular _expression_ pattern to the list
of nodes, where node names may be representative of what frame they resided
in and group nodes in the same logical set into a single display element.

I'm looking for suggestions about what
I need to do in my resource manager or elsewhere to make this work.

Thanks.
Dave
