D_Atomview

Developed at

D_Atomview is a program that can be used to view complex nano structures and how they change over time. It uses the Diverse APIs which allows it to run on common hardware, and in immersive environments such as the cave without any modification.

Atomview was originally developed by John Shalf. The original version only ran on SGI hardware and was not accessible by most people. D_Atomview seeks to change this by running on common PC hardware using linux. D_Atomview is a complete rewrite of the original Atomview except for a few minor parts. It is very modular and its basic "engine" could be used for other visualization tasks.

D_Atomview is free (GNU) GPL) software, consisting of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and a collection of utility and example programs. It runs on GNU/Linux and IRIX systems. A short essay on the Benefits of Open Source software.
