DOE ACTS COLLECTION Workshop Robust and High Performance Tools for Scientific Computing September 4-7, 2002

visualizing extremely large scale results of simulations produced by DOE scientists

I am the architect and technical director for a scalable scientific visualization system that is funded by DOE ASCI VIEWS and will be used for very large-data visualization problems at the DOE tri-labs. Although I have some familiarity with the ACTS project I have never used the tools and would benefit from an in-depth introduction. I am local to the bay area and require no funding or housing. I also have a 10-CPU (Pentium-4) Linux Beowulf cluster in my home office that can be used for computational work. My long term background (to 1981) is in computational science, in recent years working with Navier-Stokes equations (Taylor-Couette instability modeled using continuation methods) and Euler equations (current work, real-time panel methods for use in computer graphics). My PhD is from Caltech in computer science.
