What follows is just "chicken scratchings" for the LDRD Final Report.Problem definition
Data is too big to practically move to a local workstation, won't fit on a local workstation, and can't be processed/visualized on a local workstation.Taxonomy
- Make data smaller, render locally (e.g. subsets, subsampling)
- Render everything remotely and show image locally
- Render some pieces remotely and some locally
- Combinations of the above, e.g. thumbnails of canned analysis
Previous work
- Parallel shear/warp fiasco
IBRAVR
- Shared/distributed - local rendering
- Uses AMRv/Boxlib to access data - parallel I/O on NERSC machines
- Future work plans
- Linux and OpenGL
VCP
- Framework for remote access to AMRv data
- What got done and why it needed to be done
- What should get done and why (or why not)
