AB  - With the increasing capabilities of both supercomputers and graphical workstations new modes of operation become feasible for numerical simulations that are traditionally performed in batch processing. Connecting a workstation to a compute-server allows for interactive monitoring (online-visualization) and control (computational steering, interactive simulation) of such simulations. Typical issues are the extracting of data and status information from a running simulation, the dynamically changing of parameters, the dynamically attaching to and detaching of the visualization from the simulation and the recording and replaying of simulation results.VISIT is a library that supports the development of interactive simulations. It provides functions for establishing a connection between a simulation and a visualization, exchanging data and eventually shutting down the connection again. VISIT is developed in the Central Institute for Applied Mathematics at the Research Centre Juelich.VISIT uses a simple client-server approach. That means that no central server or data manager is involved. Data is exchanged directly between a simulation (the client) and a visualization (the server). The only third party that comes into play is a directory server that is used for exchanging contact information.VISIT provides support for AVS/Express and Perl/Tk visualization systems and C, Fortran, and Perl language bindings.
