Interactive Parallel Visualization of Large Scale Computer Simulations in Physics

The project “Interactive Parallel Visualization in the Framework of the Sonderforschungsbereich 382” (IPV 382) is concerned with the development of visualization and steering tools for large scale applications in physics with simulations running on parallel computers.Typical examples are online visualizations of molecular dynamic simulations with up to about one billion of atoms. For the visualization of the information contained in these huge data sets direct volume visualization proved to be an appropriate tool.
