Visualization assisted by parallel processing
Résumé
This paper discusses the experimental results of our visualization model for data extracted from sensors. The objective of this paper is to find a computationally efficient method to produce a real time rendering visualization for a large amount of data. We develop visualization method to monitor temperature variance of a data center. Sensors are placed on three layers and do not cover all the room. We use particle paradigm to interpolate data sensors. Particles model the "space" of the room. In this work we use a partition of the particle set, using two mathematical methods: Delaunay triangulation and Vorono ̈ı cells. Avis and Bhattacharya present these two algorithms in1 . Particles provide information on the room temperature at different coordinates over time. To locate and update particles data we define a computational cost function. To solve this function in an efficient way, we use a client server paradigm2 . Server computes data and client display this data on different kind of hardware. This paper is organized as follows. The first part presents related algorithm used to visualize large flow of data. The second part presents different platforms and methods used, which was evaluated in order to determine the better solution for the task proposed. The benchmark use the computational cost of our algorithm that formed based on located particles compared to sensors and on update of particles value. The benchmark was done on a personal computer using CPU, multi core programming, GPU programming and hybrid GPU/CPU. GPU programming method is growing in the research field; this method allows getting a real time rendering instates of a precompute rendering. For improving our results, we compute our algorithm on a High Performance Computing (HPC), this benchmark was used to improve multi-core method. HPC is commonly used in data visualization (astronomy, physic, etc) for improving the rendering and getting real-time.
