Grid-Enabled Visualization with GVK
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present status of visualization on the grid is not really satisfying. In contrast to other grid services, such as batch processing, data transfer, and resource scheduling, visualization is still utilized in the traditional point-topoint fashion, with applications integrating visualization as subroutine calls or even post-mortem. This situation is addressed by the Grid Visualization Kernel GVK1, which proposes a fully grid-enabled approach to scientific visualization. The infrastructure of GVK features a portal for arbitrary simulation servers and visualization clients, while the actual processing of the visualization pipeline is transparently performed on the available grid resources.

متن کاملA Grid Middleware Extension for Scientific Visualization
Grid computing infrastructures denote interconnections of massively parallel and distributed computing resources for ubiquitous, integrated, and collaborative usage. While the majority of existing grid software constitutes high-performance and high-throughput batch processing, more and more applications require interactivity and visualization. The latter is supported through the Grid Visualizat...
متن کاملIntegration of Blood Flow Visualization on the Grid: The FlowFish/GVK Approach
We have developed the FlowFish package for blood flow visualization of vascular disorder simulations, such as aneurysms and stenosis. We use a Lattice-Boltzmann solver for flow process simulation to test the efficiency of the visualization classes, and experiment with the combination of grid applications and corresponding visualization clients on the European Crossgrid testbed, to assess grid a...

متن کاملIntegrating a Common Visualization Service into a Metagrid
Existing architectures and tools for visualization on the Grid (Virtual Reality:VR, Augmented Reality:AR) include: CrossGrid [1], glogin [2], GVK [3], Migrating Desktop [4] and Gvid [5]. Whereas these architectures were useful for some applications they cannot be considered as complete. Our paper proposes a complete architecture that provides a more generic solution for applications involving v...
