Development of the Parallel Visualization System in Real Time for the Molecular Dynamics Calculation by using the Work Station Cluster

Abstract

In this study, we intend to construct MD (Molecular Dynamics) simulation system, which can proceed huge scale MD simulation with real time visualization. As the parallel computer, the workstation cluster can be used by MPI (Message Passing Interface). In this system, there is no extra data transfer and no special computer for the visualization, since the data in the each WS (work station) is visualized by itself. Observers can observe the detail by focusing to the each WS and, at the same time, they can observe whole region of the simulation by looking around. The efficiency of the present system is confirmed by some MD simulations.
