Abstract

In this work, we introduce the framework for visualization and interactivity for physics engines in real-time, for short VIPER. It is able to execute various physical simulations, visualize the simulation results in real-time and offer computational steering. Especially interesting in this context are simulations running on remotely accessible HPC clusters. As an example, we present a particulate flow simulation consisting of a coupled rigid body and CFD simulation, the chosen visualization strategy and steering possibilities. Additionally, performance evaluations and a performance prediction model concerning the update rate for remote simulations in the context of the VIPER framework are given.
