VAPOR project overview
¥VAPOR is the Visualization
and Analysis Platform for Oceanic, atmospheric and
solar Research
¥Problem: Because of the recent growth in
supercomputing performance, scientific datasets are becoming too large to
interactively apply analysis and visualization resources.
¥Goal: Make it easier to analyze and visualize
massive (Terabyte and greater) datasets
–Provide
interactive data access
–Develop
user interface customized for scientists
¥VAPOR
is funded by NSF ITR: a collaboration with NCAR, UC DavisÕ Institute
for Data Analysis and Visualization, and Ohio State UniversityÕs Dept.
of Computer and Information Sciences
