Abstract(in English) Earlier research has discussed two related technologies, namely (1) multisource content aggregation method and its browser implementation and (2) interactive visualizations of performance in data centers. This research is both the connection between the two and the next step for both. HTML5 Workers are an ideal tool for distributing the processing load across multiple cores -- most modern hardware including smartphones is multicore. However, Workers by design cannot access the DOM of the page directly. This paper discusses a method that circumvents this problem by having each Worker generate base64 URLs with image data in PNG format. This way, the main processing load is transferred to Workers while the main thread only replaces the base64 URLs, thus producing animated visualizations. The technology is intended for data center performance visualizations, where each Worker receives streamed data via individual WebSockets.
