PV: Portable Progressive Parallel Processing Pipelines

PV is a JavaScript toolkit for progressive parallel processing and visualization. PV leverages P4 for parallel data processing and rendering, and provides an intuitive API for implementing progressive workflows.

Demo

This demo shows how PV can support progressive visualizations with multiple views and user interactions.

Example

``javascript
let example = pv(config)
.input({
source: 'data.csv',
method: 'file',
batchSize: 500000,
type: 'text/csv',
delimiter: ','
})
.batch([
{
match: {
MotherAge: [18, 50],
FatherAge: [18, 70]
},
aggregate: {
$group: ['FatherAge', 'MotherAge'],
$collect: {
Babies: {$count: '*'}
}
}
}
])
.progress([
{
visualize: {
mark: 'rect',
x: 'MotherAge',
y: 'FatherAge',
color: 'Babies'
}
])
.execute({mode: ‘automatic’})
``

Development

The development of PV is still in early stage. More development and software engineering efforts will be given to make PV more usefult for building progressive visualization and visual analytics application. Please comment, discuss, or request new features using the PV GitHub issue page.
