This paper deals with the visualization of
numerical results as a very convenient method to
understand and evaluate a solution which has been
calculated as a set of millions of numerical values.
One of the central research fields of the Chemnitz
SFB 393 is the analysis of parallel numerical
algorithms for large systems of linear equations
arising from differential equations (e.g. in solid
and fluid mechanics). Solving large problems on
massively parallel computers makes it more and
more impossible to store numerical data from the
distributed memory of the parallel computer to
the disk for later postprocessing. However, the
developer of algorithms is interested in an
on-line response of his algorithms. Both visual
and numerical response of the running program may
be evaluated by the user for a decision how to
switch or adjust interactively certain parameters
that may influence the solution process.
The paper gives a survey of current programmer
and user interfaces that are used in our various
2D and 3D parallel finite element programs for
the visualization of the solution.
