The problem of visualization of very large sparse matrices emerging on massively parallel computer systems is identified and a new method along with an accompanying algorithm for parallel acquisition of visualization data for such matrices are presented. The proposed method is based on downsampling a matrix into blocks for which the desired visualization data are saved into a file. This file is then supposed to be downloaded and processed into a final image on a personal computer. Experimental results for the evaluation of the performance and scalability of the proposed algorithm are further provided and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
