The OptIPuter-supported Grid Visualization Utility (GVU) facilitates the construction of scalable visualization pipelines based on the Globus Toolkit. Scalable pipeline architectures are necessary to sustain interactive browsing of large datasets, such as time-series volumes, by coordinating parallel and remote resources for large-scale data storage, filtering and rendering. ISI demonstrates interactive point splatting of geophysical and biomedical volume data for the Varrier auto-stereo display.
