Visualization dot com

摘要: The author explores the seemingly well worn subject of distance based or remote visualization. Current practices in visualization tend to clump into two broad categories. One approach, called render-remote, is render an image remotely, then transmit user. Another option, render-local, transfers raw data user, where it rendered on local workstation. With advances networking and graphics technology, we can explore a class approaches from new, third category. this category, which call shared "dot com" visualization, stand reap best both worlds: minimized workstation-accelerated rendering. article describes Visapult, prototype system currently under development at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) that strikes such balance, achieving blended, scalable tool. Dot com means resources collaborate negotiate, combining capabilities produce final product.
