ParaView is one of the most widely used scientific tools that support parallel visualization of large scale data. The Scalable Adaptive Graphics Environment (SAGE) is a graphics middleware that enables real-time streaming of ultra-high resolution visual content from distributed visualization resources to scalable tiled displays connected by ultra-high-speed networks. Integrating these two technologies enables visualization of large-scale data at an extremely high resolution to be displayed on distantly located scalable tiled displays. The benefits, limitations, and future directions for this approach will be discussed.

“…Maximum DVI cable lengths are approximately 5 meters, and this requires that the user visualization workstation or projection system be placed in close proximity to the rendering system. One low-cost solution utilizes Scaleable Graphics Engine (SGE) hardware, 22 being developed at IBM. 23 The SGE is designed to accept multiple data inputs via gigabit ethernet connections, and provides DVI output.…”

Recently, IBM7 introduced a very high-resolution high-information content flat-panel display, which incorporates a number of technological advances. This display contains 9.2 million pixels at a density of 204 pixels per inch, in a 3840x2400 pixel format. This is the first large-area display with a pixel density which satisfies normal visual acuity at normal reading distances, and increases the screen information content by a factor of 5 to 7 times over conventional displays. This display is appropriate for a wide variety of applications in which visualization of a large amount of data is important. At the same time, this technology advance heralds a number of infrastructure changes in system architecture, digital data protocol, and user interface design for both operating system and software applications.

“…A test was performed to measure the number of pixels per second that could be output to the SGE using 4 SP switch links 20 . This test involved using software to decode MPEG movie streams on the nodes and output them to a single window.…”

“…Most of the test applications in the Mesa distribution's "/demos" directory recompile and run with no coding modifications. Since the SGE/Mesa automatic screen subdivider reduces viewport areas of the output, increased performance is seen when applications are run on multiple nodes 20 . In these tests, each node is sending identical geometry to the OpenGL API; no sort-first filtering is yet introduced.…”

A framework for parallel visualization at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is being developed that utilizes the IBM Scaleable Graphics Engine (SGE) and IBM SP parallel computers. Parallel visualization resources are discussed, including display technologies, data handling, rendering, and interactivity. Several of these resources have been developed, while others are under development. These framework resources will be utilized by programmers in custom parallel visualization applications.
