LLVIEW: graphical monitoring of batch system controlled cluster

LLview is a client-server based application which allows to monitor the utilization of clusters controlled by batch systems like IBM LoadLeveler, PBSpro, Torque, or IBM Blue Gene/L system data base. On large supercomputer clusters with several thousands of processors it is not feasible to monitor the usage of system and batch load with command line tools, because the lists or tables in their output are becoming too large and complex. Important information for example is the usage of nodes/processors and the required resources of running and waiting jobs. LLview gives a quick and compact summary of this information.

Graphical elements of LLview are a node display, a usage bar, which gives a direct view of the job-granularity, a list of running jobs and a list of waiting jobs, and a graph chart displaying the number of jobs in the different queues.
