A Chromium Based Viewer for CUMULVS
نویسندگان
چکیده
As cluster computing becomes increasingly more accessible the need for tools to simplify the development and use of parallel simulations grows proportionally. One class of tools, steering and visualization middle-ware, promises to assist in code development as well as increase the value of the final simulation produced. We are interested in employing a steering and visualization middle-ware package known as CUMULVS. By creating a distributed visualization client, or viewer, we have been able to produce images of the running application at a much higher data rate than a similarly configured single processor viewer. In this paper, we describe the design of such a viewer and present preliminary performance data.

CUMULVS is a middleware library that provides application programmers with a simple API for describing viewable and steerable elds in large-scale distributed simulations. These descriptions provide the data type, a logical name of the eld/parameter, and the mapping of global indices to local indices (processor and physical storage) for distributed data elds. The CUMULVS infrastructure uses thes...
