Dear MPI users,

  I have been working on an idea of combining MPI and Java to develop
a processor independent graphical visualization tool that lets a user
control, monitor and track (visualize) the output through his/her Web
Browser for an application that runs on distributed computers using
MPI. The idea is simple : use MPI for distributed computing, and Java
for network based visualization (of output, resource usage etc.) using it's
support for Native methods integration. The three major advantages of this
approach are:

* comprehensive network independent visualization tool (e.g. could be
  used on any computer where a Web browser is available)
* seamless integration to the native methods that use MPI for distributed
  computing
* anybody with proper authorization can run/analyze an application that's
  being executed over the network thus promoting distant collaboration.

  I would like to invite creative suggestions for this idea and the need
for such development.

regards,
-Bijal Modi
