Version 0.4.3 released November 30, 2002 Built December 1, 2002 for a pc i686 running linux-gnu Illuminator is a library whose current primary purpose is to graph PETSc 3-D
distributed arrays' isoquant contour surfaces using Geomview. It is not at all "complete", rather a first cut. It currently creates the contour surface triangulation in parallel, then
sends all of the triangles to the first node for display. Future plans include making the display process more efficient on that first node, and later doing some kind of distributed rendering for
faster visualization without the use of Geomview. As of version 0.4, Illuminator also does distributed storage and retrieval of distributed arrays of any dimensionality, allowing local hard drives
on Beowulf cluster nodes to act as a single giant "RAID-0" array with extremely high bandwidth; this can be used for fast retrieval and visualization of time series data. If you run
Debian, just type: apt-get install illuminator-demo illuminator-doc to get everything. Otherwise, get PETSc, get Geomview, get libglade, build and install them all, then download Illuminator from
the links below.
