Parallax: Visual Analysis Framework

Parallax provides a set of utilities to help engineers visualize and process datasets created by our assortment of tools and logs. The goal of this framework is simplify processes involved in diagnosing defects by providing an interface that allows users to:

• View and interact with complex datasets
• Compare different devices or tests
• Save or parse data from an assortment of formats
• Perform automatic checks against a report
• Stream and view measurements in real-time

TypeScript Commands

The user interface is requires a Node Toolchain to compile the Typescript and run tests. This toolchain is not required when using generated report files. You'll need to ensure node and npm is available and it can be installed by running the following command. sudo emerge net-libs/nodejs Once this is setup the node modules need to be installed: npm install Individual reports can generated with webpack by passing 1 or more {$NAMES} npm run build -- {$NAME1} {$NAME2} The all reports can be generated with: npm run build_all Compile without building the html page which may give more useful errors: npm run compile Run the code formatter: npm run format

Components and Initial Roadmap:

Components of this project can act as self-contained tools or as modules which can be imported by other systems:

The 2022-Q2 road-map is to incorporate the following:

Self-contained tools:

• Test Report Processor:
  • Evaluates test reports and compares against a set of targets.
  • Allows multiple test reports to be compared side by side to identify variations.
  • Support for power and thermal tests.
  • Supports user definable configuration files to replace targets.
• Real-time Measurement Viewer:
  • Enables real-time viewing of time series measurements by power monitoring tools.

Helper Modules:

• Measurement I/O:

  • Creates interface to store and load measurements as a standardized format with the goal of reducing the proliferation of file formats.
  • Enables queries on the data to evaluate statistical features.
  • Export tools to allow other consumers to process the data.

• Measurement Streaming:

  • Designed to stream measurements to the Viewer enabling users to view information from tools like Monkey Island and Sweetberry in real-time.
