System and method for targeting commands to concurrent computing units executing a concurrent computing process

摘要

A graphical user interface for a concurrent computing environment that conveys the concurrent nature of a computing environment and allows a user to monitor the status of a concurrent process being executed on multiple concurrent computing units is discussed. The graphical user interface allows the user to target specific concurrent computer units to receive commands. The graphical user interface also alters the command prompt to reflect the currently targeted concurrent computing units.

1. A method comprising:
generating a user interface based on a current status of a plurality of instances of a computing process,
each instance, of the plurality of instances, executing on a respective device of a plurality of devices,the generating the user interface. being performed by one or more devices, and the user interface including:
a command line interface,
the command line interface including a command prompt, the command prompt indicating a group of instances of the computing process, of the plurality of instances of the computing process, as a target for executing a command input via the command line interface, the group of instances of the computing process being specified via the command line interface; providing the user interface for display,
the providing the user interface for display being performed by the one or more devices; receiving, via the command line interface, a command,
the command being associated with a group of tasks, andthe receiving the command being performed by the one or more devices; distributing, based on receiving the command, the group of tasks to the group of instances of the computing process to cause the group of instances of the computing process to concurrently process the group of tasks,
the distributing the group of tasks being, performed by the one or more devices; and modifying the command line interface when an event, relating, to a point of execution of an instance of the computing process of the group of instances of the computing process, occurs during a concurrent processing of one of the group of tasks,
the modifying the command line interface being performed by the one or more devices,the modified command line interface including information identifying the instance of the computing process and information indicating that the event, relating to the instance of the computing process, has occurred.
