Abstract: Cinema is interactive image-based approach to data analysis and visualization targeting very large datasets that are difficult to visualize interactively due to their size. In Cinema you can store your visualization as a pre-recorded database of images created, e.g. by a script that you run as a batch job on an HPC cluster. After having built this database, you can import it into a Cinema-enabled environment to explore this visualization interactively as if you were doing live rendering. This image-based approach works equally well for both simulation and experimental data, and it potentially reduces data movement and storage, as you store not the original multidimensional datasets, but only the 2D images that you want to see. Optionally, Cinema can work with ParaView Catalyst to render these images in-situ right in your simulation software.
