Collaborative Scientific Data Visualization, Byeongseob Ki, Scott Klasky Jan 1996

Collaborative Scientific Data Visualization, Byeongseob Ki, Scott Klasky

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

We have designed a collaborative scientific visualization package that will aid researchers from distant, diverse locations to work together in developing scientific codes, providing them with a system to analyze their scientific data. We have utilized Java to develop this infrastructure. Two important areas which we have concentrated on developing are 1) a collaborative framework from which the scientific data is interpreted and utilized, and 2) a framework, which is customizable to the suit the needs of a particular task and/or scientific group.


Software And Hardware Requirements For Some Applications Of Parallel Computing To Industrial Problems, Geoffrey C. Fox Jan 1995

Software And Hardware Requirements For Some Applications Of Parallel Computing To Industrial Problems, Geoffrey C. Fox

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

We discuss the hardware and software requirements that appear relevant for a set of industrial applications of parallel computing, these are divided into 33 separate categories, and come from a recent survey of industry in New York State. The software discussions includes data parallel languages, message passing, databases, and high-level integration systems. The analysis is based on a general classification of problem architectures originally developed for academic applications of parallel computing. Suitable hardware architectures are suggested for each application. The general discussion is crystalized with three case studies: computational chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, including manufacturing, and Monte Carlo Methods.
