VenueVNC• What you see, is what everyone else
sees!
• Known issues:– More than 5-7 connections, things start to slow down– Firewall limits use at many institutions
• Supposedly, TightVNC runs better than RealVNC for multiple connections
• Would like to investigate the use of a VNC Reflector

Shared Desktop• Software developed by Todd Zimmerman of
Simon Fraser University, as part of the WestGrid computing project (www.westgrid.ca)
• The SharedDesktop Access Grid shared application listens for other SharedDesktop users to share their desktop via VNC - then offers them to the user

Shared Thermo• This AG's shared application, which is an example of
remote sensor monitoring, shares live sensor data with other participants.
• The sensor data consists of temperature outputs from four thermocouples attached to a Weeder Technologies WTTCI-M thermocouple input module, which is connected to a computer via its RS-232 port.

Shared Rasmol• RasMol is a widely used program
for molecular graphics visualisation
• Thomas Uram of Argonne National Laboratory created a Shared Application version of Rasmol version 2.7.1.1 for use in the Access Grid
• Some enhancements have been implemented at University of Queensland Vislab by Stephane Bidet

ParaView• Thomas Uram of Argonne National Laboratory
created a Shared Application version of ParaView• ParaView is a widely used visualization application
– Cluster-based rendering– Remote data server
• As visualization workflows often involve visualization experts and domain science experts, there’s a strong use case for shared visualization
• Contains a Venue Client Plug-in
• Uses VPMedia to stream visualization
