A veritable alphabet soup of agencies including University of Tennessee (UT)’s National Institute for Computational Science (NICS), Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL)’s Computational Research Division (CRD), Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL), the University of Illinois’ National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), and the University of Wisconsin at Madison (whew), are collaborating on a new endeavor called the Remote Data Analysis and Visualization (RDAV) Center. When complete, the center will provide remote visualization, image generation, statistical analysis, and a variety of other services to users, making it a leading center for developing new technology and capabilities for researchers.
“Our team of experts has been providing these scientific visualization services to thousands of researchers around the globe for decades, as part of the Department of Energy’s NERSC Analytics and CRD visualization programs. Our experience and track record in this space made us the best qualified to lead this part of the RDAV effort,” says Wes Bethel, who heads the Berkeley Lab’s Scientific Visualization Group in CRD. Bethel will also be coordinating the Berkeley Lab’s contribution to the RDAV center.
You can read more about the RDAV Center at their website. RDAV will primarily be offered to existing users of the NSF’s TeraGrid project, but hopefully their technology and research will eventually bring Remote Visualization to larger markets.
