The most common abstraction used by visualization libraries and applications today is what
is known as the visualization pipeline. The visualization pipeline provides a mechanism to …

VisIt is a popular open source tool for visualizing and analyzing data. It owes its success to
its foci of increasing data understanding, large data support, and providing a robust and …

Visualization and analysis tools, techniques, and algorithms have undergone a rapid
evolution in recent decades to accommodate explosive growth in data size and complexity …

Because of the ever increasing size of output data from scientific simulations,
supercomputers are increasingly relied upon to generate visualizations. One use of …

Experts agree that the exascale machine will comprise processors that contain many cores,
which in turn will necessitate a much higher degree of concurrency. Software will require a …

Ensemble run simulations are becoming increasingly widespread. In this work, we couple
particle advection with pathline analysis to visualize and reveal the differences among the …

Flow fields are an important product of scientific simulations. One popular flow visualization
technique is particle advection, in which seeds are traced through the flow field. One use of …

Particle advection is the fundamental kernel behind most vector field visualization methods.
Yet, the efficient parallel computation of large amounts of particle traces remains …

Particle advection is an important vector field visualization technique that is difficult to apply
to very large data sets in a distributed setting due to scalability limitations in existing …

When computing integral curves and integral surfaces for large-scale unsteady flow fields, a
major bottleneck is the widening gap between data access demands and the available …
