To me, this sounds very much like a web interface. You need a web
server and knowledge of some scripting language (PHP, Perl, Python,
Ruby, Java, etc.) or even a compiled application that can interface
with your MPI program and can take HTML queries and produce HTML
output. The interaction with the MPI program can simply be done via
its standard input/output - this way the MPI program is a completely
separate entity from the script/program that does the HTML part, so
you wouldn't have to think about linking f.e. graphical libraries in
the MPI program and synchronization issues.
