SciDAC OASCR Award Winners

Following on the news of Argonne’s victory at SciDAC, the HPCMP DAAC (High Performance Computing Modernization Program, Data Analysis and Assessment Center) also won 2 OASCR’s:

• Five Years of Breaking Waves
• Impact of a fragment on 6-layers of Kevlar

You can see these visualizations and many more at the DAAC Visualization Gallery.The DAAC is known for its use of high-end postprocessing tools (3dsMax, AfterEffects) to create visuals far beyond the use of most visualization scientists in the DoD, and these awards prove it.

PS: OASCR stands for, I’m told, Office of Advanced Scientific Computing & Research.

PPS: In the nature of full disclosure, I am an employee of the HPCMP DAAC.  I have the two awards next to my desk :)
