Interactive Fusion Simulation and Visualisation on the Grid

This paper describes the "fusion plasma application" which is developed within the "Interactive European Grid" (int.eu.grid), making use of its architecture to produce interactive visualisation of a distributed simulation executing on the grid. In properly combining and, where necessary, adopting the building blocks "migrating desktop" (MD), "roaming access server" (RAS), "grid visualisation tool" (GVid) and "grid interactive tool" (glogin), the int.eu.grid adds extensions for interactive visualisation to grid middleware in a novel way.
