Description:
This demonstration represents one model of how scientists, researchers, and physicians con benefit from the combination of local, inexpensive workstations, high-speed networking, and remote supercomputing facilities. It consists of three parts: the application itself, the network infrastructure, and the workstation visualization and control.
The application utilizes PSC’s distributed heterogeneous supercomputing environment to generate o surface tessellation from a 30 scalar field using the dividing cubes algorithm and to render on image. The image is sent over the network to a Showcase workstation to display the result. A graphical interface on the workstation allows interactive exploration of the 3D data, sending new parameters to the heterogeneous supercomputing environment for reprocessing and re-rendering as the exploration proceeds.
