I don't know the specifics of globus. I am wodering what is the upside
of using IDL in such circumstances as opposed to using say, MySQL/
postgreSQL dbase + php graphing lib for accessing data and
visualizing? What is the effect on memory in your large simulations?
Are there any benchmarks available?

As opposed to what? I am still confused what would IDL be offering in
terms of speed/memory etc. when compared to other opensource viz
tools. Besides, may be a stupid question, but is there a parallel
IDL?? I mean can you parallelize it like, say using MPICH?
Please show us bench marks :-) Besides, how would these play out for
someone with telephone connection? :D
Cheers,
