Proxy-Based Parallel Visualization in a Grid Environment with PC Clusters

This paper describes our efforts to provide a grid-based parallel visualization environment to visualize massive dataset in parallel. The visualization environment is implemented as a visualization service on the grid. This paper focuses on deploying a proxy process on the master node of each cluster in the grid, to ensure that Globus jobs can be scheduled on internal nodes of clusters that have only local IP addresses. We have conducted an experiment to visualize in parallel a dataset of computational domains in a grid environment with PC clusters
