Monitoring of data stream connections in a computer network.

摘要

Provided are systems and methods for monitoring data stream connections in a parallel server network composed of multiple workstations. A user defined application task for the network is decomposed/ subdivided into multiple work units/subtasks individually distributed for relatively concurrent execution in selected workstations. The monitor detects and provides to the user data stream connection status information (29) about the complete system as the application is being executed. The monitor process is executed as a daemon on the coordinate workstation accessed by the user. Node registration requests from the subordinate workstations to the coordinate workstation provide the coordinate workstation daemon process with information regarding the status of data streams in subordinate workstations.
