Hello,

I'm using ParaView Catalyst for in situ visualization of some scientific 
simulation codes, mainly CFD and DEM. I have implemented a demo in which a 
small simulation code is interfaced with the ParaView Catalyst libraries. 
However, our major codes that are in use are based on GPU(written in CUDA) and 
the data generated by the simulation is in the memory of GPU. As far as I know, 
ParaView and VTK are CPU codes and in my case, I have to copy the data from 
memory of GPU to memory of CPU and then use Catalyst. That is not very ideal in 
respect of efficiency. I know there seems to be some professionals of computer 
visualization developing GPU-based VTK pipeline using CUDA, but I'm not 
computer professional and I can't use CUDA. I want to know if there is any open 
source  GPU-based VTK pipeline, or if I do have to copy data from GPU to use 
Catalyst, is it worth the effort?

Thanks a lot!
-Zhang
