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 virtual reality education. 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 are used to display multi-media and 3D data; Finally, openSenceGraph 3D graphics engines is used to write high-performance virtual reality application. As a virtual reality education platform, some application result are also represented in the end.
