Resource-Aware Visualization Using Web Services

We present a status report on RAVE, our distributed, collaborative grid enabled visualization environment. We briefly review our architecture and related work, examine our collaborative support and relate this to an experiment carried out between SuperComputing 2004 (Pittsburgh, PA, USA) and the Cardiff School of Computer Science. Load distribution in RAVE is described and analysed, using a tiled rendering technique to share rendering workload between machines. Finally, we review various applications that have been extended to use RAVE
