I guess that Cloud Computing<\/a> stuff doesn’t only apply to data storage. There are also things like Google’s Visualization API<\/a> for manipulating and presenting data. In this paradigm, the data is under my control but the code to manipulate it lives on Google’s servers.<\/p>\n

Good or bad? That’s up for debate, but the table visualization<\/a> definitely caught my eye. Look at the experimental results when I put FATE data into the table<\/a>. Notice how easy it is to sort by columns (the default sort is such that the failed builds float to the top). I may be a little too close to the situation, but I think it’s a little better than my last attempt<\/a>. Again, no more up-to-15-minute delay with this system; new build data is available for presentation as soon as it is submitted to the database.<\/p>\n

Let me know what you think. Personally, I think we may have a winner here. Maybe Google’s other visualizations (assorted graphs and such) could be just the thing we have been searching for in order to plot trends like performance and code size.<\/p>\n

I just wish I could understand the data source wire protocol<\/a>. As it stands, the index-v3.php script generates JavaScript on the fly to populate the table. It would be a bit more elegant if the data were provided by a separate script. But, hey, this works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
