-Lucifer is a general visualization framework which can be used by any StGermain-
-based software that uses open source, freely available libraries such as
- OpenGL, X11, VTK, and libfame (a movie encoder).
- It provides a visual analysis toolkit for models and geological data.
- gLucifer provides both interactive and background rendering but concentrates
- on the latter for rendering frames of computationally intense, remotely
- running applications.
- For example, gLucifer is capable of producing movies of a 4-D data set
- ''on the fly" (simultaneously with running the parallel scientific application)
- and sampled at the finest spatial and temporal scales (the highest resolution
- every timestep), without creating a performance bottleneck.
- By eliminating most of the human effort involved in visualizing results
- through post-processing, gLucifer reconnects the scientist to the numerical
- experiment as it unfolds in real time.
- gLucifer further provides a novel type of interactivity, termed iterative
- visualization, that exploits the ever-increasing availability of computational
- resources.
