Collaborative and Interactive Visualization in a Distributed High Performance Software Environment

  • Conference paper
High Performance Computing for Computer Graphics and Visualisation

Abstract

In COVISE (COllaborative Visual Simulation Environemt) an interac­tive 3D renderer module has been embedded in order to fully support collaborative visualization for scientific computing in a distributed high performance environment. The visualization aspects of COVISE with respect to bandwidth needs and synchronization issues are presented. Typical user scenarios and recent performance measurement results of collaborative sessions with different machine architectures and network technologies are discussed.
