Abstract
To achieve benefit and value from high performance computing (HPC), visualization is employed for a direct understanding of computational results. The more closely coupled the visualization system can be to the HPC data source, the better the chance of fostering discovery and insight. A software architecture is described, with discussion of the dynamic object manager allowing scalable high-performance applications and computational steering. High performance parallel graphics methods are described, including interactive HPC data exploration in immersive environments.
