Graphics applications for grid computing

Journal ArticleThe first article, "Enabling View-Dependent Progressive Volume Visualization on the Grid" by Alan Norton and Alyn Rockwood describes and evaluates the communication in a progressive, visibility-driven compression scheme for distributing volumetric data from grid resources to volume-rendering clients. In "Visualization Systems on the Information- Technology-Based Laboratory," Yoshio Suzuki et al. explore a local grid called the Information-Technology- Based Laboratory and two visualization systems developed for that environment. Using their system, they explored real-time collaborative visualization of a coupled multiphysics numerical simulation, executed on their local grid, which possibly has simulation steering applications
