Visualization and analysis of extreme scale data are important issues in the next generation Exa-scale simulations. In order to resolve this issue, a remote visualization system has been developed based on the particle-based volume rendering technique. The system connects a supercomputer and a PC via a Client/Server type distributed processing model. Extreme scale data is converted to small particle data via massively parallel data processing on a supercomputer, and the particle data is transferred and rendered on a PC. In this talk, we discuss the performance of remote visualization using the K-computer.
