Greetings fellow Jovyans!

I'm setting up an application in a Jupyter notebook that will launch a large number of very long (multiple day) jobs/calculations on a cluster of GPU machines.

How would folks recommend setting up a dashboard to monitor the progress of those calculations within a Jupyter notebook?

I was thinking a dashboard made up of jupyter widgets composed of HBox, VBox, Buttons, Labels etc that would be updated every couple of seconds from a process launched by evaluating a function in a cell.

The dashboard would contain a button to shut down the process that monitors the jobs.

Has anyone done anything like this?   Are there any examples that folks could point me towards?

Note: I'm not doing this in Python.   We've implemented a new kernel in Common Lisp and we have ported Jupyter Widgets 7.1 to this kernel.  Everything is compiled to native code and we have threading implemented using pthreads.

Best,

Hi Christian,

Have you had a look at the Jupyter dashboards project? Is this something like what you want?

https://github.com/jupyter/dashboards/

Best wishes,
Thomas

For the record, your messages were in the Google Groups spam filter (which seems to be problematic lately, because a load of messages got caught in it). After a day or so, we get an email telling us that some messages were filtered, and we can go and approve them.

I discovered Jupyter dashboards while watching videos on this last night - thank you.

Christian,

Great questions! Here are a couple of thoughts:

1. The https://github.com/jupyter/dashboards project is, I think, essentially unmaintained at this point.

2. However, there are lots of people excited about doing dashboards and working on experiments for doing dashboards using ipywidgets. See https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets/issues/2018 for some notes on recent discussion and links to some experimental projects.

3. Another broader discussion about dashboards is happening at https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/1640

We welcome any input, and especially helping push forward in some of these experiments.

Thanks,

Jason
