XLED is an X/Motif based client/server package that emulates hardware
LEDs. It is implemented on top of LAM, a cluster computing
environment for UNIX. It provides a low cost alternative for sexy
blinking LEDs demos (popular with supervisors and managers!) and
quick-n-dirty debugging.
The XLED client library can be used by MPI applications under LAM,
from C and Fortran. It provides a simple interface to turn on/off
selected LEDs and inquire about their current state. The XLED server
can be run on any node in the LAM multicomputer. The LED calls locate
and direct their requests to the proper destination.
The XLED API
- lam_ledinit( ) handles initialization.
- lam_ledclr( ) clears the LEDs.
- lam_ledon( ) turns on an LED.
- lam_ledoff( ) turns off an LED.
- lam_ledisset( ) checks the state of an LED.
- lam_ledgetnum( ) gets the number of LEDs.
How to Get XLED
XLED was developed at the Ohio Supercomputer Center and is
freely available under a GNU license from the
LAM download site.
