ParaView 3.0 is a scalable, open-source visualization application. The application runs on a wide variety of platforms, ranging from a single-processor desktop machine to multi-processor shared-memory supercomputers or clusters of computers. When run in a parallel environment, ParaView can process very large data in a wide variety of data formats (structured and unstructured, time varying and static).
ParaView provides a comprehensive suite of visualization algorithms and supports many different file formats for both loading and exporting datasets. This application is extensible, so new algorithms can be easily added. ParaView 3.0 is more quantitative and data-centric than previous versions of ParaView, providing more plotting and charting functionality as well as allowing easier access to the data values underlying the visualization.
