Abstract

Summary form only given. Discusses the latest in massively parallel processing (MPP) applications´ results through high-resolution graphics and animation. Three themes are represented, demonstrating the relationship between massively parallel computing and scientific visualization. Results of applications computed on MPPs and visualized on graphics workstations are shown for many of the cases. Examples of result data whose image rendering are performed using parallel algorithms on MPPs are shown, and some performance measurements are given. Finally, graphics presentation of data representing the behavioral dynamics of MPPs are shown, opening the way for scientific visualization to assist in the optimization of MPP computation
