| 11 | Plots of |
|---|
| 12 | isosurfaces, 2d cross sections and particles with dvrp</font></h4> |
|---|
| 13 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> |
|---|
| 14 | software developed by the RRZN |
|---|
| 15 | (Stephan Olbrich, Carsten Chmielewski) allows a creation of plot |
|---|
| 16 | sequences with PALM, |
|---|
| 17 | which can be animated via a special plugin for internet browsers. With |
|---|
| 18 | suitable graphic hardware even stereoscopic views are |
|---|
| 19 | possible. <br> |
|---|
| 20 | In contrast to the other kinds of visualization output realized |
|---|
| 21 | in PALM (<b>profil</b>, <b>iso2d</b> and <b>AVS</b>), |
|---|
| 22 | where the data |
|---|
| 23 | is output in a format suitable for the plot software, the creation of |
|---|
| 24 | plots via <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> |
|---|
| 25 | software is |
|---|
| 26 | integrated in PALM, i.e. respective routines are directly called within |
|---|
| 27 | the PALM code. The |
|---|
| 28 | <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> |
|---|
| 29 | routines then output the |
|---|
| 30 | graphic data |
|---|
| 31 | (so-called plot-primitives, e.g. polygones of isosurfaces) in a special |
|---|
| 32 | dvr format. Since the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> |
|---|
| 33 | software is parallelized (i.e. each PE calculates the graphic data for |
|---|
| 34 | its subdomain), the visualization of simulations with very |
|---|
| 35 | large numbers of grid points is possible (which so far failed because |
|---|
| 36 | of |
|---|
| 37 | several problems: volume of the raw data, which rapidly may sum-up to |
|---|
| 38 | several Terabytes; main memory size needed for graphic workstations, on |
|---|
| 39 | which the visualization is to be carried out; the insufficient scalar |
|---|
| 40 | (!) |
|---|
| 41 | computing speed of commercial graphic software in case of such |
|---|
| 42 | large numbers of grid points). </p> |
|---|
| 43 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The coupling of <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> software and |
|---|
| 44 | PALM |
|---|
| 45 | as well as the visualization of the model results via <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> has been |
|---|
| 46 | the main focus of the BMBF project "Application of |
|---|
| 47 | tele-immersion in long-distance networks" (2001-2002), |
|---|
| 48 | which was a joint project of RRZN, ZIB and IMUK. This work is currently |
|---|
| 49 | continued by RRZN in the new DFG-funded project "EVITA - Untersuchung |
|---|
| 50 | effizienter |
|---|
| 51 | <br>Methoden zur visuellen und haptischen tele-immersiven |
|---|
| 52 | Exploration |
|---|
| 53 | <br>komplexer Volumen- und Strömungsdaten aus |
|---|
| 54 | parallelisierten, |
|---|
| 55 | <br>dynamischen 3D-Simulationen" (2005-2007). </p> |
|---|
| 56 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">The calls of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> routines are |
|---|
| 57 | contained within a |
|---|
| 58 | PALM software package (see chapter <a href="chapter_3.7.html">3.7</a>). |
|---|
| 59 | To use this package, the additional option <tt><font size="2">-p |
|---|
| 60 | “dvrp_graphics”</font></tt> |
|---|
| 61 | has to be given in the <b>mrun</b> call. This |
|---|
| 62 | automatically links the |
|---|
| 63 | required libraries. |
|---|
| 64 | Steering of the plot output is done via the package |
|---|
| 65 | parameters (see chapter <a href="chapter_4.2.html">4.2</a>). |
|---|
| 66 | In contrast to all other PALM output, <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> |
|---|
| 67 | graphic |
|---|
| 68 | data are not output to local files but directly to a special remote |
|---|
| 69 | computer which is defined via the package parameter <a href="chapter_4.2.html#dvrp_host">dvrp_host</a>. |
|---|
| 70 | The |
|---|
| 71 | default values of the dvrp parameters are cause the output to be |
|---|
| 72 | directed to a so-called streaming server at the |
|---|
| 73 | RRZN. Apart from graphic data an additional html file is created, which |
|---|
| 74 | can be used by an internet browser to view the data (a special <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> plugin is |
|---|
| 75 | needed). </p> |
|---|
| 76 | <p style="line-height: 100%;">Since July 2001, the basic |
|---|
| 77 | functionality |
|---|
| 78 | of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">dvrp</span> |
|---|
| 79 | software is |
|---|
| 80 | installed in PALM and steerable via the |
|---|
| 81 | package parameters. However, some code modifications may still need to |
|---|
| 82 | be done by the user (e.g. in |
|---|
| 83 | the subroutine <tt><font style="font-size: 10pt;" size="2">plot_dvrp</font></tt> |
|---|
| 84 | in order to define suitable color tables). |
