A Rocks Based Visualization Cluster Platform Design and Application for Bridge Health Monitoring

Article Preview

Abstract:

As high performance computing (HPC) becomes a part of the scientific computing landscape, visualizing HPC has become a critical field of its own. This paper describes a visualization cluster solution developed for bridge health monitoring system. First, LCD display, computer with NVIDIA graphic cards, 1G switch and 10G switch are used to build hardware platform; Secondly, Linux operation system, Rocks management software, CGLX middle software is used to display multi-media and 3D data; Finally, OpenSenceGraph 3D graphics engine is used to write high-performance parallel 3D programs. This approach can be used not only for parallel computing, but also for parallel 3D modeling and display. Some application result on bridge health monitoring is given in the end.
