Abstract

This paper presents real-time data streaming and client side visualization which was developed using UNICORE middleware. Described here IVis system extends UNICORE capabilities and allows for streaming of the data produced by the running simulations. IVis client provides user with advanced tools for data visualization and analysis. The developed software can be also used for remote steering and control. The important feature of the developed solution is utilization of the UNICORE security infrastructure which allows for data streaming without opening new holes in the firewall. The performance of the IVis system has been measured and is presented. We have found that bandwith is mostly limited by the network speed. Performed tests conformed that developed tools can be efficiently used for data streaming and on-line visualization and streaming on the grid.
