In scientific and engineering calculations, recently, computational sizes and amounts of calculated results have been increased rapidly due to speedup of computers and increase in memory size. Post processing or visualization of a huge amount of numerical data plays a very important role for understanding the meaning of the data. Computational loads for visualization of large-scale data are still heavy even for graphic computers. Processing speeds for visualization of large-scale data are measured using general-purpose visualization software on graphic computers in JAERI. A guideline is summarized in this report to choose appropriate graphic computers according to the size of the data.
