Large-Scale Data Visualization and Rendering: A Problem-Driven Approach
PATRICK MCCORMICK and JAMES AHRENS, Advanced Computing Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory
27.1 Introduction
The performance of computing resources has grown dramatically over the last 10 years. This growth has allowed scientists to simulate physical processes in much greater detail than has ever been possible. Computed tomography systems have also been developed that produce extremely detailed scans. This increased resolution has in turn produced extremely large datasets that must be analyzed and visualized to complete the scientific process. In many cases, the same large computing resources required for scientific simulations are often needed to complete ...
