An ability to interact with a running application may be very useful for the user to debug his parallel applications and reduce the numerical experiment duration. Such interaction implies monitoring of the parallel application state and a possibility to control its operation. However, standard technologies allowing such scenario implementation are not available at present time. So, it is of great interest to improve the modern computing systems in order to equip them with the function of interactively starting jobs. Another useful feature of interactive mode is that it allows viewing remote data, i.e. viewing data not transmitted to the given user’s computer. This makes it possible to reduce the waiting period between the completed computations and the result viewing start time and also save the network and disk resources. The paper presents simple and easy to use software system implementing the above-mentioned interactive scenarios. The system is intended for monitoring and control of small- and middle-size jobs, allows viewing remote data using modern technologies for construction of the user interface and can be used both in local and global networks. Keywords: visualization, parallel computations, interface.
