Using a parallel FE solver, a 3-D structural analysis, whose degrees of freedom may exceed 100 million degrees of freedom, can be performed on a supercomputer such as the Earth Simulator (ES) and the IBM BlueGene/L. However, the data size of the analysis result also becomes huge. Server-side rendering capability is required for the visualization of such a huge scale structural analysis. We developed an off-line visualizer running on the ES and PC clusters. It is vectorized on the ES and scalar-tuned on the PC clusters. It is also parallelized. Here in this paper, we focus on our polygon rendering algorithm using a look-up table approach, which is required for image generation of surface scalar contour and deformation plots of our off-line visualizer.
