Abstract
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.
Claims17
A method of visualizing data transfers in a distributed computing environment, comprising:
- receiving information associated with the data transfers comprising at least information associated with a plurality of nodes in the distributed computing environment;
- and
- visualizing, by a processor, the plurality of nodes in the distributed computing environment, a node in the plurality of nodes represented as a geometrical shape, a first part of the geometrical shape representing logic of the node and a second part of the geometrical shape representing storage of the node, wherein a line connecting the first part and the second part represents data transfer between the first part and the second part, and wherein a spline connecting two of the geometrical shape each of which represents a different node in the plurality of nodes, represents inter-node data transfer between logic and storage of said two different nodes.
