DescriptionVisualization and data analysis are essential components of the scientific discovery process. Scientists and analysts running HPC simulations rely on visualization and analysis tools for data exploration, quantitative analysis, visual debugging, and communication of results. This half-day tutorial will provide SC16 attendees with a practical introduction to mesh-based HPC visualization and analysis using VisIt, an open source parallel scientific visualization and data analysis platform. We will provide an introduction to HPC visualization practices and couple this with hands-on experience using VisIt.
This tutorial includes:
1) An introduction to visualization techniques for mesh-based simulations
2) A guided tour of VisIt
3) Hands-on demonstrations visualizing a CFD Blood Flow simulation
4) Special Topic: Beyond post-hoc visualization and analysis using in situ processing
This tutorial builds on the past success of VisIt tutorials, updated for SC16 with new content focused on use cases where in situ processing has merits over traditional post-hoc file based analysis. Attendees will gain practical knowledge and recipes to help them effectively use VisIt to analyze data from their own simulations.
