Visualization pipeline and architectural implications on grid environment

The distribution of visualization pipeline components on the grid environments produces numerous implications. Some of these implications are related to the architectural design of these components in the grid services and required compatibility with these components. Additionally, even with the integrations of existing network monitoring tools to provide support to implement a good grid computing architecture there still issues specifically with the development of real time visualization applications and systems on the grid. This paper presents the architectural implications and conflicts that are related to the performance and construction of visualization pipeline on the grid. The experiments were carried out to investigate and justify these issues with the presented results from the developed grid architecture for sequential resources selections and parallel resources selection.
