Abstract
The KONWIHR project gridlib has developed a framework for the integration of simulation and visualization for large scale applications. This framework provides its own grid structure, the so called hierarchical hybrid grid, which is well suited for runtime efficient realization of multilevel algorithms. Furthermore, it offers flexible visualization functionality for both local and remote use on number crunchers and workstations. It is based on modern object-oriented software engineering techniques without compromising on performance issues.
