It used other Sun technologies, including Sun servers, [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]], [[Sun Ray]] Ultra-Thin Clients, and [[Sun Grid Engine]]. The Sun Visualization System software was based on several [[open source]] technologies: [[Chromium (computer graphics)|Chromium]] to perform distributed 3D rendering, [[VirtualGL]] to re-route 3D rendering jobs to arbitrary graphics devices, and [[VirtualGL#TurboVNC|TurboVNC]] to deliver the rendered 3D images to a client or clients. Sun sponsored and/or contributed changes back to these projects throughout the life of the Sun Visualization System.<br /> <br /> In January 2009, The VirtualGL project reported that it was no longer being sponsored by Sun Microsystems, and in April 2009, Sun announced that it was discontinuing the Sun Shared Visualization and Sun Scalable Visualization products. Customers were able to order the products through July 31, 2009, and service and support was provided until October 2014.<br /> <br /> == Main hardware components ==<br /> * [[Sun Fire]] servers<br /> * [[Sun Ultra]] workstations<br /> * Graphics Accelerators: Sun XVR-2500, [[Nvidia Quadro]] FX, or [[Nvidia Quadro Plex]] VCS<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;Sun Shared Visualization&#039;&#039;&#039; software consisted of VirtualGL, TurboVNC, a proprietary plugin to allow VirtualGL to send images directly to Sun Ray clients, and glueware to allow remote 3D rendering jobs to be managed by Sun GridEngine.<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;Sun Scalable Visualization&#039;&#039;&#039; software contained customized versions of Chromium, OpenSceneGraph, [[ParaView]], and [[Message Passing Interface|MPI]]. It also contained glueware to allow distributed 3D rendering jobs to be managed by Sun GridEngine.<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/visualization-hpc/ OpenSolaris Project: Visualization for HPC]<br /> * [http://www.virtualgl.org/ VirtualGL: 3D Without Boundaries]<br /> * [http://www.virtualgl.org/vgldoc/2_1_1/ User’s Guide for VirtualGL 2.1.1 and TurboVNC 0.5]<br /> * [http://www.vizworld.com/2009/05/official-word-from-sun-on-their-visualization-offerings/ VizWorld: Official Word from Sun on their Visualization Offerings]<br /> <br /> {{Sun Microsystems}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Sun Microsystems software]]<br /> [[Category:Sun Microsystems hardware]]<br /> [[Category:Computer-related introductions in 2007]]</div>
