9.1 Introduction
In this example we present a grid implementation to support the field of
advanced scientific visualization. The area of visualization is evolving as it
addresses emerging and continuing issues, from interactive and batch rendering
of terascale data sets, through remote visualization. At the same time,
universities in general have a lot of heterogeneity. This is due to using many
low-cost resources from different suppliers, running different systems through
advanced computing resources such as super computers, advanced
visualization systems, etc., with most of them segregated in spe ...
