  1. Cracow ’06 Grid Workshop Multimodal Planet Visualization on a metagrid Ronan Watson

  2. What I will talk about • Software used – Tools and Utilities • KML server • VRG server • Use Case • Video • Questions

  3. Existing Visualization Tools • Earth Visualization software • Can be run with OpenGL • Ported to Linux • 3D engine written in C++ • Uses OpenGL libraries • Exporter plugins for most common modelling software

  4. Idea • To combine the functionality of the existing software, Google Earth and OGRE • To produce a visualization package that will simplify and increase the understanding and use of the Grid.

  5. What to map? • Initially • EGEE/LCG2 sites • Get all site names • Run a site functional test to determine active sites • sftests get-GOC-sites-map • Parse the result to get gridgates • Perform an ldapsearch on each of the gridgate machines • Parse output to get longitude and latitude

  6. KML • Next step? • To add this content to Google Earth • Using a file format called KML • KML • Keyhole Markup Language • XML grammar and file format • modeling and storing geographic features • points • Lines • images • polygons

  7. KML Example <?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?> <kml xmlns=”http://earth.google.com/kml/2.1”> <Placemark> <name>Stonehenge, England</name> <description>Stonehenge was built around 2500BC</description>   <Point>    <coordinates>1.826752,51.179045,0 </coordinates>  </Point>  </Placemark> </kml>

  8. KML file • Build site KML file • Script to add all sites to kml file • Add generic site building models • Add placemark locations • KML server • Site kml file continually produced by grid jobs • Uploaded periodically to server • Download kml file from server and load to Google Earth

  9. VirtualGrid engine • VirtualGrid engine built using OGRE libraries • 3d navigable world • Uses .vrg file type which contains site specific information

  10. VRG server • VRG files continually produced by grid jobs • Server location added to .kml site file • VirtualGrid engine run from Google Earth

  11. Example Visualization Setup • 9-node cluster • LCG2 Worker Node software • 2 grid sites • VRG server • Scalable Coherent Interconnect • Chromium
