Abstract

This chapter introduces some aspects of visualization and the grid. Visualization --the art and science of representing data visually-- is now recognized as an equal partner in the conduct of science via the simulation and modeling paradigm. Although not usually associated with Grid-scale problems, there are a number of Grid-dominant issues which subtend visualization. Evidently, certain data grooming issues (e.g., image preprocessing/analysis, certain computational geometric processes, certain computational topological processes) are amenable to deployment over compute Grids, but there has been equal focus on the collaborative aspect of Grid computing which is driving collaboration-based visualization systems. Here we survey some of the roles of visualization as they relate to the role of Grid computing within a biomedical context. We conclude by examining certain scheduling strategies we believe to have value in terms of the distribution of visualization tasks over Grid fabrics.
