Visualization at Jülich Supercomputing Centre

Introduction

The Cross-Sectional Team "Visualization" (CST-Vis) at JSC assists users by developing and adapting software tools for visualization of scientific data to meet their special needs. We belive, that visualization is one of the most important, and commonly used, methods of analyzing and interpreting data from computing simulations.

Remote 3D Visualization

The availability of remote visualization, either implemented within visualization applications themselves, or through server software, eliminates the need for off-site file transfers and allows HPC users to run a broad range of visualization tools in-place on the supercomputer where the data resides.

VisIt

"VisIt is an Open Source, interactive, scalable, visualization, animation and analysis tool.
From Unix, Windows or Mac workstations, users can interactively visualize and analyze data ranging in scale from small (<10¹ core) desktop-sized projects to large (>10⁵ core) leadership-class computing facility simulation campaigns. Users can quickly generate visualizations, animate them through time, manipulate them with a variety of operators and mathematical expressions, and save the resulting images and animations for presentations. VisIt contains a rich set of visualization features to enable users to view a wide variety of data including scalar and vector fields defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured, adaptive and unstructured meshes. Owing to its customizeable plugin design, VisIt is capabable of visualizing data from over 120 different scientific data formats."
