As supercomputers grow, so does their capacity to simulate ever larger and more detailed phenomena. These increasingly large simulations, in turn, produce terabytes of data. It’s no longer enough to look through your data, run some simple statistics, or even generate a 2-dimentional visual. To truly gleam the maximum amount of knowledge from your simulation data, it’s increasingly vital to use detailed visuals even including virtual and augmented reality.
Enter Vistle, a tool for visualizing large scientific data sets in virtual and augmented reality. Over 20 HPC users from across European research and industry gathered on January 29th to be introduced to Vistle, its design, capabilities, and ongoing optimizations for heterogeneous supercomputer hardware. Three speakers from our partner institution, HLRS, presented Vistle and answered questions in the one-hour webinar organized by CEEC.
For those who were not able to attend or who may want a second look at the material, we’re pleased to share the webinar video and slides below. Stay tuned for the date and details of Vistle Part II, an on-site and hands-on workshop at HLRS where participants will be able to experience Vistle in virtual reality using the HLRS cave.
