3 | 3 | Animations contained on this page are examples from different projects that have been carried out by the [[imuk|PALM group]] in the past. Most sequences have been created with the PArallelized LES Model (PALM) using a distributed virtual reality software system (DSVR) for graphic output. In contrast with other graphic software, DSVR is parallelized and is running embedded in PALM (i.e. no graphic post-processing is done). This method avoids output of raw data (in the order of 10-100 GByte per timestep for large model runs). Instead, only graphic primitives are stored and replayed using streaming server technology. Depending on the available graphic hardware, also stereoscopic views can be created. For further details of DSVR see [[http://www.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/dsvr.html|here]]. Recently the [[imuk|PALM group]] has started also employing [[http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/|NCL]] and [[http://www.vapor.ucar.edu/|VAPOR]] for generating movies. Therefore we will extent this section in near future.\\ |
