Data visualization has proven effective at detecting patterns and drawing inferences from raw data by transforming it into visual representations. As data grows large, visualizing it faces two major challenges: 1) limited resolution i.e. a screen is limited to a few million pixels but the data can have a billion data points, and 2) computational load i.e. processing of this data becomes computationally challenging for a single node system. This work addresses both of these issues for efficient big data visualization. In the developed system, a High Pixel Density and Large Format display was used enabling the display of fine …
