pV3 (which stands for parallel Visual3),
is a distributed system, that builds heavily on the technology developed for
Visual3.
It has been designed specifically for co-processing
visualization of data generated in a distributed and parallel compute arenas.
It is
also designed to allow the solver to run as independently as
possible. If the solution procedure takes hours to days, pV3
can `plug-into' the calculation, allow viewing of the data as it
changes, then can `unplug' with the worst side-effect being the
temporary allocation of memory and a possible load imbalance.
