Abstract

FlowVR is a component-based middleware providing the means to develop and run high performance VR or Scientific Visualization applications on PC cluster or grid architecture. In this paper, we present FvSciViz, a generic framework based on FlowVR, to build interactive scientific visualization from heterogeneous components. FvSciViz provides an API, called FVmoduleAPI, to build FlowVR components, a template of an interactive scientific visualization application and automatic tools to generate the application defined by the user. FVmoduleAPI encapsulates FlowVR technicalities in few simple functions inserted in the original code written in C, C++ or Fortran, to make it compatible with the programming model of the FlowVR middleware. The application template is based on generic components handling interaction, visualization and simulation. These components are set up in an XML file processed by FvSciViz's automatic tools in order to build the application. Some first experiments validate our approach.
