Abstract

A hybrid parallel and out-of-core algorithm pads blocks from a structured grid with layers of ghost data from adjacent blocks. This enables end-to-end streaming computations on very large data sets that gracefully adapt to available computing resources, from a single-processor machine to parallel visualization clusters.
