Description

This joint WLCG and HSF workshop looks forward to the common challenges faced in HEP Software and Computing in the next decade, when the HL-LHC will start and the LBNF facility will become operational. Major programmes of work in software and computing have been identified as a result of the HSF's Community White Paper process, which published its Roadmap in December 2017 and now is the time to start implementing them.

In the workshop we will look to identify prototypes that will clarify the best and most promising lines of work for the next few years. There will be many plenary sessions, to engage the whole community in discussion of the challenges ahead and to find common projects as much as we can. Parallel sessions will allow working groups to make real progress on their goals.

        Hybrid Rendering System for Particle Collision Experimental Data Visualization

        The main problems in visualizing the particle collision events are the amount of data needed for good visualization and the need for high-performance graphical hardware. To overcome the need of sending the large amount of data to the end-user as well as need for high-performance graphical hardware, we propose the hybrid rendering solution which renders the final image in two parts: (1) highly interactive visualization of basic experiment geometry rendered on client side and (2) high quality render of event details, which is rendered on server side. The final render image is combined from both images with use of different fusing techniques using depth buffer or importance buffer. The proposed approach solves multiple issues: (1) the need for sending a large amount of data to the client for purpose of visualization, (2) the need for high-performance graphical hardware on the client side, (3) allows the use of more complex rendering techniques and (4) improves the interactivity of the visualization.
