Software for visualizing information about interconnections in computing clusters provided by MPI benchmarks

Effective program should take care of hardware and interconnections of computing cluster for which it was written. However clarification of hardware may be a problem for program developer. Documentation for cluster can often give only superficial knowledge. Therefore one approach to clarify hardware and interconnections is proposed in the article. This approach is based on synthetical benchmarks. To demonstrate results of benchmarks visualization software was developed. The software represents data graphically in real-time operation mode and provides useful auxiliary functionality. Also developed software is compared with existing systems which have similar purposes.
