Parallel large data visualization with display walls
نویسندگان
چکیده
While there exist popular software tools that leverage the power of arrays of tiled high resolution displays, they usually require either the use of a particular API or significant programming effort to be properly configured. We present PVW (Parallel Visualization using display Walls), a framework that uses display walls for scientific visualization, requiring minimum labor in setup, programming and configuration. PVW works as a plug-in to pipeline-based visualization software, and allows users to migrate existing visualizations designed for a singleworkstation, single-display setup to a large tiled display running on a distributed machine. Our framework is also extensible, allowing different APIs and algorithms to be made display wall-aware with minimum effort.

Using high-resolution displays for high-resolution cardiac data.
The ability to perform fast, accurate, high-resolution visualization is fundamental to improving our understanding of anatomical data. As the volumes of data increase from improvements in scanning technology, the methods applied to visualization must evolve. In this paper, we address the interactive display of data from high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging scanning of a rabbit heart and s...
متن کاملA New Method for Interacting with Multi-Window Applications on Large, High Resolution Displays
Physically large display walls can now be constructed using off-the-shelf computer hardware. The high resolution of these displays (e.g., 50 million pixels) means that a large quantity of data can be presented to users, so the displays are well suited to visualization applications. However, current methods of interacting with display walls are somewhat time consuming. We have analyzed how users...
متن کاملDynamic Level of Detail for Tiled Large High-Resolution Displays
Large high-resolution displays (LHRDs) combine high pixel density with a large display surface area. Level-of-Detail (LOD) methods can be used to accelerate viewdependent rendering of large data sets on such display systems. We present a new method for dynamic, view-dependent level-of-detail rendering for tiled display walls. Based on the user’s tracked head position and orientation, we determi...
متن کاملVisualization of Do-Loop Performance
Performance visualization is the use of graphical display techniques for the analysis of performance data in order to improve understanding of complex performance phenomena. Performance visualization systems for parallel programs have been helpful in the past and they are commonly used in order to improve parallel program performance. However, despite the advances that have been made in visuali...
متن کاملA Visualization Technique for Hierarchical Time Series Task Data
This paper presents an information visualization technique that represents both time series information and hierarchical structure onto a two-dimensional display space. It represents time series data as bar charts along the horizontal axis of a screen, and hierarchical structure as nested rectangular borders enclosing the bar charts. It packs the nested rectangular borders representing hierarch...
