The proposed parallel visualization algorithms are based on the sort last approach, and designed to be highly compatible with the characteristics of domain-wise computation in parallel finite element analysis. To investigate the performances of proposed algorithms, in-house software is developed by applying the binary tree network communication pattern along with the proposed sorting algorithms, and benchmarking test for parallel visualization is carried out.
