Experience
Scientific Visualization Rendering Engine and Data Pipeline
https://www.eli-beams.eu/en/facility/computing-simulations/virtual-beamline/Laser plasma interactions and other physics simulations can easily get up to units of terabytes of data. Such simulations, computed on a several thousand CPU core cluster, often trace the behavior of billions of particles over hundreds of time steps. Visualization of the data is a challenging process that is mostly performed on GPU clusters. While this approach has many advantages and provides advanced features for visualization and interpretation of the raw data, it is limited in the dissemination of the results on the web in interactive and VR mode.
WebGL based interactive 3D visualization framework for the exploration of curated and optimized simulation datasets was created to fill this gap. This application runs in a regular web browser and utilizes VR mode to offer scientists a completely new point of view of their simulations. The framework not only renders the dataset on the GPU in real-time at 60fps but also provides additional views and information, alongside a GUI containing timeline animation controls.
