Overview

Vistle is a software environment for scientific visualization of large-scale data sets. It implements a data-parallel visualization pipeline and can distribute the pipeline steps onto several interconnected clusters. Workflows are configured in an explicit graphical user interface. Vistle has a special focus on working in immersive virtual environments such as CAVEs and head-mounted displays. In order to enable visualization of large-scale data sets in such environments, object and image based remote rendering can be configured within the visualization workflows.

If you are already familiar with COVISE, this will give you a head-start because of a lot of similarities between the two systems: You can think of Vistle as a parallel version of COVISE. Refer to Notable Differences to COVISE for notable differences.
