  1. GasPMViewer 1.x.x The Secrets of Particle Visualization methods. The summer school 2006 on "Computational Cosmology" Astrophysical Institute Potsdam (AIP).

  2. OUTLINE • Modern Cosmological Simulations • Basics of DM Simulations • Density calculation • PMViewer basics. • Developed Branches. • Visualization algorithms: • DM • GAS • Introduction to Stereo 3D • Basic concepts • 3D stereo facilities at AIP <= NEW Visualization Technique

  3. Modern Cosmological Simulations • The evolution of cosmic structures is a nonlinear process. • In the simulation Box up to 5123(134M) particles or more. • Output of one time step is: ~3.2GB raw data. • ~200K gravitationally bound objects: Haloes and subhaloes. • For constructing merger history we need >100 time steps.

  4. Simulations Diagram • Particles (points) • MESH(AMR grid) • Properties (Rho, T,P etc) • Halo catalogs: • Positions • Radius • Triaxial ellipsoids

  5. What to visualize? • 2 vector fields • Positions r (X,Y,Z) • Velocities v (VX, VY, VZ) • Several scalar fields • Density • Temperature • Pressure • Absolute Velocity measured by observer

  6. Density calculation for Point data • NGP • CIC • TSC • AMR • SPH • BH-Tree (oct-tree) • KD-Tree (binary-tree)

  7. slice with Z depth Mapping particles to GRID

  8. Result=SLICE • After 15 min on supercomputer we will get CIC on a GRID resolution 512^3

  9. But we want to do more…

  10. Density estimation by BH-Tree • Build the BH-Tree (J.Barnes,P.Hut, 1986) • Calculate density = MCOM/Vnode • Disadvantages: over/under-estimate!!! • Advantages: It is fast and useful for visualizations!!!

  11. True SPH Density • Assign "radius" defined by N-neighbors (Nngb=30-60). • Get density by: i=NjmjW(rij,hi), where W(r , h) is a smoothing kernel. • Disadvantages: Needs computational power!!! • Advantages: It is more accurate.

  12. Examples: SPH on a GRID NGB=40 NGB=250

  13. Idea of PMViewer • Interactivefasttool to visualize particles. • Visualize Haloes to check halo finder algorithms. • Easy to handle and expand. • Multiplatform • possibility to run on supercomputers • non interactive rendering • Make fancy movies

  14. QT based PMViewer 2.x.x • This is not supported anymore.

  15. Modern GasPMViewer’s properties • OS: Linux, MacOS, CygWin • Programming Language: C/C++ • Environment: X11 • Require: >= g++2.99, OpenGL, GLUT • Hardware: >=P3 400Mhz, >32M VRAM. • Notes: Direct Draw should be enabled. • Particles data formats: ART, GADGET-1/2, MLAPM/AMIGA?(ask Alexander), BIN/ASCII(N,X,Y,Z,M) • HALO Catalogs: BDM, BDM_MPI, for new format edit read_halos.cpp file.

  16. User Interface.

  17. This should be YES Force your administrator to install OpenGL correctly!!! How to start? • Look at “glxinfo” ’s output: name of display: 127.0.0.1:0.0 display: 127.0.0.1:0 screen: 0 direct rendering: No server glx vendor string: SGI server glx version string: 1.2 server glx extensions: GLX_ARB_multisample, GLX_EXT_visual_info, GLX_EXT_visual_rating, GLX_EXT_import_context, GLX_OML_swap_method, client glx vendor string: SGI client glx version string: 1.4 client glx extensions: ... ...

  18. Getting code. http://pmviewer.sourceforge.net http://www.aip.de/People/AKhalatyan/Download/GasPMViewer.tar.gz

  19. Makefile For DM: • MYOPT= -DSWE -DNOAGE -DVERBOSE -DPBUFFER For Gas and track center • MYOPT= -DVERBOSE -DREADCENTFROMFILE -DNOBH -DSWE -DNOTVISBOUNDPART -DPBUFFER -DDEBUGME For DM,Boundary,Gas,Stars, BH • MYOPT= -DSIMPLE -DVERBOSE -DDEBUGME -DPBUFFER • There are more then 20 options…

  31. 3D Stereo Visualization 3D Stereo Visualization facilities in AIP.

  32. Stereographics using stereo pairs To render a stereo pair one needs to create two images, one for each eye in such a way that when independently viewed they will present an acceptable image to the visual cortex and it will fuse the images and extract the depth information as it does in normal viewing.

  33. Parallax The distance between the left and right eye projections is called the horizontal parallax • The object is behind the projection plane. • Object is located in front of the projection plane. • Object lies at the projection plane.

  34. Off-axis (Correct) Toe-in (Incorrect ) Rendering

  35. Rendering Off-axis method requires a non symmetric camera frustum. This is supported by some rendering packages, in particular, OpenGL and DirectX.

  36. Frustum

  37. 3D Stereo in OpenGL Setting drawing modeglutInitDisplayMode( GLUT_STEREO); For Drawing: glDrawBuffer(GL_BACK_LEFT) MyDrawLeft(); glDrawBuffer(GL_BACK_RIGHT); MyDrawRight(); glutSwapBuffers();

  38. Anaglyph • If your graphics card doesn’t support stereographics or even left and right buffers, then try Anaglyph(old method).
