24 November 2008

We're pleased to announce the alpha release of OpenRM 1.8.0. Please visit the OpenRM download page for access to the source tarballs.

A quick summary of updates/new features in 1.8.0:

Scene Graph data consistency across multiple writers, multiple readers and multistage rendering modes.
Expanded callbacks in RMaux and RM to provide a much greater degree of flexibility between the application and the scene graph system.
Better support for 64-bit OS's, so you have have RMprimitives with more than 2 billion vertices, colors, etc.
MinGW build infrastructure (thanks to David K)
Performance improvements to accelerate scene graph topology changes.
Various other bug fixes.

Fall 2006

OpenRM serves as the visualization and rendering engine for two papers on the subject of high performance network traffic visual data analysis.

One, in the IEEE Symposium on Visual Analytics Science and Technology, focuses on the new idea of using histogram cross products as a visual interface technique for mining a hero-sized collection of network connection data. Accelerating Network Traffic Analytics Using Query-Driven Visualization (PDF).

The other, appearing in Supercomputing 2006, extends these ideas by implementing and benchmarking parallel techniques for multidimensional histogram formulation, and applies these new techniques to detect the origin of a coordinated, distributed network scan in a hero-sized collection of network connection data. Detecting Distributed Scans Using High-Performance Query-Driven Visualization (PDF)
