RIP, Remote Interactive Particle-tracing, is a distributed graphics program that computes particle traces for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution datasets. A particle trace is a line that shows the path that a massless particle in a fluid takes; it is a visual image of where the fluid is going. The program can compute and display particle traces at a speed of about one trace per second because it runs on two machines concurrently. Implemented on the SGI IRIS 3000 and a CRAY 2 running Unico 1.0 or 2.0. Last updated in 1988.
