SAWs - Scientific Application Webserver¶
SAWs is a software library that uses threads, sockets, and locks to allow a client program to read (and change when desired) variables in the server (PETSc) application).
Requirements and installation of the SAWs¶
One can simply add --download-saws to the arguments for ./configure when configuring PETSc.
Alternately, a current version of SAWs is available from https://bitbucket.org/saws/saws
and one can add the flag --with-saws-dir=/directorywhereamsisinstalled.
Usage from PETSc¶
To examine options in a browser, run PETSc applications with
-saws_view saws -ts_view_pre saws and point your brower to
http://localhost:8080 or, if you are running your application on a
different machine, pass the name of that machine to the browser.
