Yeah, VTK and IBM Data Explorer are the two main power apps I have in mind
running on the board.  I use both at home and at work, though they're
sweeter on the SGIs at work of course.  :-)  Looking forward to closing that
3D performance gap a bit, for SciVis tools and games.

(BTW, I can't figure why anyone put the VTK port in the math directory.
VTK = Visualization Toolkit = graphics / scientific visualization.  Oh
well, if everything made sense we'd all be bored.)
