A Grid Middleware Extension for Scientific Visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 Visualization Kernel (GVK), a middleware extension for fast and efficient interconnection of distant simulation servers and visualization clients. The integration of GVK is provided by specific interface modules for commonly available visualization toolkits, while the actual interconnection is transparently established between arbitrary points on the grid.

Visualization support for Ibis runtime systems and Grid applications
The Ibis middleware is especially suitable for parallel scientific computations and simulations on a computational grid. Visualization of these applications provides better insights. However, Ibis has no support for visualization. In this thesis, we present the Ibis Visualization Package, which extends the Ibis middleware with support for interactive visualization of scientific computations, mo...
