 Usage of the '''dvr'''-software requires installation of additional software components ('''dvr'''-library, streaming-server, browser-plugin) which are not part of the PALM distribution. Currently (May 2009), this software is only available on the HLRN/IMUK-system and partly on RIAM's NEC-system. If you are interested in using '''dvr''' on your system, please contact the PALM developers. [[BR]] [[BR]]

 The '''dvr''' software was originally developed by [http://www.rrzn.uni-hannover.de RRZN] stuff (Stephan Olbrich, Carsten Chmielewski). Meanwhile, further development under the name '''dsvr''' is done by the University of Hamburg (Prof. Stephan Olbrich, see [http://www.dsvr-software.de/dsvr webpage]). It allows to create 3d-animations with PALM, which can be displayed via a special plugin for internet browsers. With suitable graphic hardware (e.g. NVIDIA quattro FX cards) even stereoscopic views are possible.

 The coupling of '''dvr''' software and PALM as well as the visualization of the model results via '''dvr''' has been the main focus of the BMBF project "Application of tele-immersion in long-distance networks" (2001-2002), which was a joint project of RRZN, ZIB and IMUK. This work was continued by RRZN in the DFG-funded project "[http://www.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/evita.html EVITA] - Untersuchung effizienter Methoden zur visuellen und haptischen tele-immersiven Exploration komplexer Volumen- und Strömungsdaten aus parallelisierten, dynamischen 3D-Simulationen" (2005-2007).

 The calls of the '''dvr''' routines are contained within a PALM [wiki:/doc/app/packages software package]. To use this package, the additional option {{{-p 'dvrp_graphics'}}} has to be given in the '''mrun''' call. This automatically links the required libraries. Steering of the plot output is done via the [wiki:/doc/app/dvrpar dvr package parameters]. In contrast to all other PALM output, '''dvr''' graphic data are not output to local files but directly to a special remote computer which is defined via the package parameter [wiki:/doc/app/dvrpar#dvrp_host dvrp_host]. If the default values of the '''dvr''' parameters are used, data are send to a so-called streaming server at the RRZN. Apart from graphic data an additional html-file is created, which can be opened by an internet browser to view the data (a special '''dvr''' plugin is required for this). [[BR]] [[BR]]
