2. Impact Infrastructure projects –Efficient parallel rendering in VisIt –VisIt infrastructure: process, community outreach “Basic” infrastructure: wide range of groups Most applicable: large data –“Too big to move” groups –20 seconds is too long for volume rendering! Accelerate it (now) Other approaches (later) CI-testing, BTS: all VisIt development Infrastructure projects –Efficient parallel rendering in VisIt –VisIt infrastructure: process, community outreach “Basic” infrastructure: wide range of groups Most applicable: large data –“Too big to move” groups –20 seconds is too long for volume rendering!

GLEW/GL Issues With Cyrus’ help, working on AIX Some GLEW work pushed upstream Some Mesa work pushed upstream Outstanding work: –Mesa community: BG/L build broken (recent) –Mesa community: master broken on AIX –Push GLEW changes upstream With Cyrus’ help, working on AIX Some GLEW work pushed upstream Some Mesa work pushed upstream Outstanding work: –Mesa community: BG/L build broken (recent) –Mesa community: master broken on AIX –Push GLEW changes upstream www.vacet.org
