manage energy efficiency from a data center. Data are extracted from sensors
located in the IBM Green Data Center in Montpellier France. These sensors
measure different information such as hygrometry, pressure and temperature. We
want to visualize in real-time the large among of data produced by these
sensors. A visualization engine has been designed, based on particles system
and a client server paradigm. In order to solve performance problems, a Level
Of Detail solution has been developed. These methods are based on the earlier
work introduced by J. Clark in 1976. In this paper we introduce a particle
method used for this work and subsequently we explain different simplification
methods we have applied to improve our solution.
