Parallel Volume Rendering
This Parallel Volume Rendering of a cross-wind fire simulation shows the temperature of gases. This 150 million degree-of-freedom simulation uses loosely coupled SIERRA framework’s codes: Fuego/Syrinx/Calore. It models objects in cross-wind fire (one fluid and participating media radiation region; two conducting regions). The simulation was run on 2,048 Red Storm processors. An ASC supercomputer, Red Storm is located at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The simulation is a part of a qualification test plan for system testing to be conducted at the new Thermal Test Complex Cross Wind Facility at Sandia.
The ParaView scalable visualization tool was used to generate the rendering, using 64 nodes of a Linux-based visualization cluster integrated with the Red Storm environment.
