VRML -- Virtual Reality Model Language -- is an object oriented database built as a subset of the SGI Inventor System
|
|
VRML can be considered as another script optimized for graphics but not many interesting processing (compute) capabilities are in current standard
|
VRML can be considered as an example of a universal data structure allowing exchange of 3D objects over the Web.
-
These objects could either be tanks in a videogame or parts of an aircraft used in large scale simulation
|
|
Thus useful to consider data parallel VRML and building CC++ or HPF(Fortran90) modules to support VRML
|
|
HPCC community should join with the Web to ensure that standards such as VRML can be implemented efficiently either in parallel (maybe a niche) but also in a distributed network (similar issues where HPCC can contribute and clearly very important)
