Important Notice :
The next generation of CAVERNsoft is now released as the toolkit QUANTA. The QUality of Service Adaptive Networking Toolkit supports TeraNode applications over optical networks. Visit The QUANTA homepage for downloads and documentation.
This website will not be updated any longer. Please send email to the CAVERN group at cavern@evl.uic.edu if you have any questions.
CAVERNsoft G2 is an Open Source C++ ready2ware toolkit for building
collaborative networked applications. CAVERNsoft's main strength is in
providing networking capabilities for supporting high throughput
collaborative applications. These applications need not be CAVE
applications. In addition CAVERNsoft provides modules for
accelerating the construction of Tele-Immersion (or collaborative virtual reality)
applications.
The following is a list of CAVERNsoft G2's capabilities. More information
can be found in the documentation section.
Low/Mid-level networking classes
These capabilities work across SGI, Linux, Solaris and Win32 (Windows
9x, NT, 2000) platforms.
-
TCP, UDP, multicast, HTTP classes.
-
UDP reflector and multicast bridge class.
-
TCP reflector.
-
Remote procedure call classes.
-
32 and 64 bit remote file I/O classes.
-
Client/Server database classes.
-
Parallel socket TCP classes.
-
Parallel socket 32 and 64 bit remote file I/O classes.
-
32 and 64 bit remote file I/O classes using parallel sockets
-
Cross-platform data conversions.
-
Mutual exclusion and threading classes.
-
Network performance monitoring abilities
Higher level modules
These modules are designed mainly for SGI computers. They use the CAVE
library and Iris Performer.
-
Audio streaming.
-
Basic avatar classes without graphics.
-
Performer articulated avatars.
-
Performer navigation and collision detection.
-
Performer menus.
-
Performer Pick and Move
-
Performer NetDCS
-
Collaborative widget interface.
-
Collaborative framework for animating data sets.
-
LIMBO- basic collaborative framework for building other collaborative applications.
-
Manipulative coordinate system class for programming transformations.

A multidisciplinary, finite element–based, graphics-oriented, linear and nonlinear analysis capability that includes such disciplines as structures, heat transfer, linear aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, acoustics, propulsion and controls engineering, has been achieved by integrating several new modules in the original STARS (STructural Analysis RoutineS) computer program. Each individual analysis module is general-purpose in nature and is effectively integrated to yield aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic solution of complex engineering problems. Examples of advanced NASA Dryden Flight Research Center projects analyzed by the code in recent years include the X-29A, F-18 High Alpha Research Vehicle, and Hyper-X/X-43 projects. Extensive graphics capabilities exist for convenient model development and postprocessing of analysis results. The program is written in modular form in standard FORTRAN language to run on a variety of computers, such as the IBM RISC/6000, SGI, DEC, Cray, and PC; associated graphics codes use OpenGL and IBM/graPHIGS language for color depiction. Out-of-core and parallel processing of solutions are available.
Adoption of special sparse matrix storage schemes and a multi frontal approach for a sparse matrix decomposition, as well as a multitude of new finite elements, renders the program economical and efficient. Also, an optimizer module has been added to the program, which enables effective design of structural systems. Further, a GUI module has been added to render additional guidance for efficient running of the code.
A simulation of the Euler/Navier Stokes CFD-based unsteady flow enables efficient and accurate solution of the aeroelastic, aeroservoelastic, aero-acoustics, and aerothermo-servo-elastic-acoustic problems.
