Scientific visualization with VisIt
Alex Razoumov
CC
Alex Razoumov earned a PhD in computational astrophysics from the University of British Columbia. He has worked on numerical models ranging from galaxy formation to core-collapse supernovae and stellar hydrodynamics, and has developed a number of computational fluid dynamics and radiative transfer codes and techniques. He spent five years as HPC Analyst in SHARCNET helping researchers from diverse backgrounds to use large clusters, and in 2014 joined WestGrid as visualization specialist. Alex presently lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Marcelo Ponce
Scinet
Marcelo is a scientific applications analyst at the supercomputer center of the University of Toronto: SciNet HPC Consortium. He holds a PhD in Astrophysics from the Rochester Institute of Technology, as a member of the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation. Before joining SciNet, Marcelo held a postdoctoral position at the Department of Physics at the University of Guelph, and was an associated researcher to the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in the area of strong gravity.His research expertise focuses in the area of Computational Astrophysics, more specifically Numerical Relativity, i.e. solving Einstein's equations of General Relativity numerically, using supercomputers to simulate extreme scenarios, such as, multiple black holes and binary neutron star mergers. He has also experience in other fields of computational physics, such as, implementations of consistent discretization methods of quantum gravity applied to cosmological models, stability and numerical analysis of dynamical systems, and complex networks synchronization studies.
Abstract
VisIt is an open source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization tool. With VisIt users can interactively visualize and analyze 2- and 3-dimensional data defined on structured, adaptive and unstructured meshes, animate... [ view full abstract ]
