Altair FlowTracer

What is Altair FlowTracer?

Altair FlowTracer is an advanced project flow development and execution platform that provides users with unique visualization and flow troubleshooting capabilities for increased productivity. FlowTracer provides flow visualization, analyzes flows, and identifies inherent parallelism embedded in today's complex flows, optimizing the use of compute resources.

FlowTracer is designed to support flows across a wide variety of applications, such as semiconductor design, algorithm evaluation, software development, and more.

Why FlowTracer?

Benefits for designers

Increased productivity through visualization and control, plus dependency recognition for faster response time

Benefits for infrastructure

Improved resource utilization through parallel execution, a small memory space, and built-in scheduler for greater scalability

Management Benefits

Reduced flow complexity for high-quality results, flow standardization and better collaboration

Main benefits

Tracing

FlowTracer is a complete system that can be used to create, manage, and run flows. It captures and updates streams by interacting with the tools while they execute the commands contained in the stream, a unique technique for managing dependencies between files and tools called tracing.

Color-coded GUI

FlowTracer has a color-coded GUI that provides users with accurate information about their workflows. The powerful Grid View report displays the results of millions of running jobs and highlights failed jobs as red pixels that can be quickly identified, debugged, and resolved.

Addiction awareness

Dependency recognition prevents tasks from running until all previous dependency requirements are met, allowing users to quickly identify the root cause of failed tasks, perform corrective actions, and continue to perform tasks from the point of failure without having to restart.

Faster development

With a small memory-occupied area and internal scheduler, FlowTracer runs multiple processes across multiple servers, providing a scalable solution capable of handling millions of in-memory tasks and thousands running simultaneously.

Resource efficiency

FlowTracer discovers and takes advantage of the internal parallelism used in current complex flows. FlowTracer can dispatch workloads to compute clusters distributed on-premises and in the cloud. Support for interactive and full-batch modes enables greater resource efficiency.

Collaboration

With FlowTracer user-friendly visualizations (grids, nodes, flowcharts, and dependencies) and high-level abstraction, complex workflows can be easily deployed and shared across organizations for flow standardization and greater collaboration.
