GPU Graphics Library

Advanced 3D Data Visualization
Documentation

The Graphics Library dramatically improves scientific visualizations. The idea is simple: let the GPU visualize and compute without moving data back to the CPU. The Graphics Library is included for free with all Jacket licenses. It integrates the Jacket computational engine with full OpenGL rendering capabilities. This coupling of computation and graphics allows you to develop true visual computing applications.

Users can now view computations in realtime through GPU versions of common visualization functions, such as GSURF, GPLOT, GSCATTER3, and more. The Graphics Library provides open, easy to use, and blazingly fast visual computing.

The following videos not only demonstrate the visualization power of the Graphics Library but also convey the computational capabilities of the Jacket platform. The speedups enabled by Jacket allow these examples to achieve realtime performance, unlike the equivalent CPU counterparts. Jacket provides the ability to fully leverage the GPUs computational capability while providing integrated visualization capabilities far beyond anything else offered on the market.
