[vtkusers] Parallel procesing with VTK

[Will Schroeder]

Hi Folks-

Some of you folks may be interested in parallel processing with VTK. To learn more, download the technical paper (http://www.kitware.com/vtkhtml/vtkdata/pvtk.pdf) written by Jim Ahren's et al. entitled "A Parallel Approach for Efficiently Visualizing Extremely Large, Time-Varying Datasets." Jim is from the US Los Alamos National Lab, and shows some very impressive examples with up to 256 processors. Kitware is working with Jim (and the three National Labs Los Alamos, Sandia, and Livermore) under a three-year contract to add scalable parallel processing to VTK. (There's a little more information on the Kitware Press Release 8 http://www.kitware.com/pr08.htm.)  For more information contact Jim Ahrens at ahrens at lanl.gov or Charles Law at charles.law at kitware.com.)
