| <h2>Using the Console View</h2> |
| |
| <p> |
| Before formally verifying an MPI C/C++ application, the number of processes needs to be set |
| for the verification run. You will also need to know how to run GEM itself. The links below |
| detail these processes: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <a href="gettingStarted.html">Getting Started</a> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <a href="setNumProcs.html">Setting the Number of Processes</a> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <a href="gettingStarted.html#rungem">Running GEM</a>. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Console Overview</h2> |
| <p> |
| When GEM has finished the verification of your MPI C/C++ application, the Console, Browser and |
| Analyzer Views will all be opened and depending on what is specified in the |
| <a href="preferences.html#gemprefs">GEM Preference Page</a>, one of these views will be |
| brought to the foreground and given the active focus. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Console View serves as an informal progress monitor while GEM is running — a status bar of sorts. |
| The actual time to formally verify any MPI application is essentially unknown and hence no actual Progress Monitor object. |
| It may be useful to see <b>STDOUT</b> & <b>STDERR</b> to know when a verification run is complete. The Console |
| View also gives the user the opportunity to cancel stalled or long-running operations with the standard Eclipse |
| cancel button <img src="images/terminate.gif">. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>Understanding Output</h3> |
| Please reference the <a href="output.html">Understanding GEM Console Output</a> help page. |
| |
| <p> |
| <i>The image below shows what the Console View might look like followed by an explanation of its components.</i> |

| |
| <p> |
| <b>Note:</b> On the <a href="preferences.html#gemprefs">GEM Preference Page</a>, you can specify whether you |
| want new output to replace the older, or if new output should be appended to the older output. |
| </p> |
