Excerpt: ParaView is an open source, freely available program for parallel, interactive, scientific visualization. It has a clientserver architecture to facilitate remote visualization of datasets, and generates level of detail (LOD) models to maintain interactive framerates for large datasets. It is an application built on top of the Visualization Tool Kit (VTK) libraries. Where VTK is a set of libraries that provide visualization services for data, task, and pipeline parallelism, ParaView is an application designed for data parallelism on shared-memory or distributed-memory multicomputers and clusters. It can also be run as a single-computer application. ParaView is an open source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. It has a clientserver architecture to facilitate remote visualization of datasets, and generates level of detail (LOD) models to maintain interactive framerates for large datasets. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView's batch processing capabilities. ParaView was developed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. It can be run on supercomputers to analyze datasets of terascale as well as on laptops for smaller data. ParaView is an application framework as well as a turn-key application. The ParaView code base is designed in such a way that all of its components can be reused to quickly develop vertical applications. This flexibili... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=9057232
