Review on Capacity Analyzer by Matt Hamilton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very helpful visualization tool and fast response service

It's very easy for non technical users like myself, without having knowledge regarding HPC applications or supercomputers (like Cray) as well as with little experience using this type software, I was able use it successfully to visualize resources used by my job! Sometimes when you try several times before getting an answer from someone that knows how is working your computer/workstation properly; also sometimes some parts are still not "easy" to read but keep practicing until everything will be clear enought even if takes time to get familiarized!! For example, at first reading could make me think there were two different machines being analyzed because I couldn't understand why they appeared so dissimilar compared to others running similart workloads.

But after looking closer it became obvious that both had exactly same configuration just only one showed up twice due low visibility settings while another has been hidden under other option called memory analysis which shows more information about system performance.

Pros
  • The visualization of resources and performance for a given job is very easy and simple
Cons
  • It would be great to have an option to choose the type of memory to be used
