Application's processor utilization

The view will appear when the last checkbox on the Animation Control window is checked.

Figure 11: Processor utilization of experiment Broadcast with ACK

This view shows in real time the period between a process starts and stops participating at the algorithm i.e. a process starts participating when it sends broadcast messages and it stops participating when it received all acknowledgements. In order to illustrate which process invokes other processes, arrows pointing from sender to receiver are shown. They appear in the colour associated with the sender. The bars showing the process occupation are displayed according to the colour associated with the processes identifier.

NOTE: As mentioned in Section 3.2.3, each experiment has its own animation file, so the meanings of colors in the experiments are different from one to another. The information of each experiment is stored in corresponding hypertext files at directory $LYDIANROOT/Html.
