Visualization enables insight, allows verification, and enhances presentations and publications. The VisIt visualization software package has a graphical user interface for exploring and displaying data. It can also produce animation to represent complex behavior of variables over time. The software is freely available for Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms and is installed on the Princeton University High Performance Computing Systems.
Participants will be exposed to scientific visualization techniques in the VisIt software package and see a demo of the Paraview package. Participants will also see how to leverage PICSciE’s remote visualization capability to look at large datasets on their personal computers without having to transfer that data off the Research Computing storage system.
No prior experience with visualization tools on HPC systems is required. This workshop is intended for researchers interested in developing visual representations of their data.
Attendees will use their personal computers to follow along with the demos and examples. They should install the VisIt visualization software in advance to do the exercises. You can download VisIt from the VisIt website. There will also be some sample data files to download during the session.
