Abstract
Physics simulations can be very resource demanding, and the fusion ones are a good example. Grid computing, which is continuously improving its features, is a promising architecture for the execution of these simulations. On the other hand, the visualization of generated data could be significantly extended by the use of an interactive grid environment in which users could manage and interact with the big amount of remote stored data. Some fusion problems have already been proved into this kind of framework, but some other in-development approaches can show benefit from current features and requirements for new future grid adaptations.
