Run Time Monitoring
PALM has initially been developed to answer the needs of the MERCATOR operational oceanography project. The high resolution data assimilation applications running under PALM are quite heavy in memory usage (from tens to hundreds of Gb) and CPU time (from hours up to tens of hours). For this kind of applications PALM offers the opportunity of monitoring the computation evolution and the resources usage during the execution.
