SCD/GTP SEMINAR:

Desktop Exploration of High Resolution Numerical
Solar Turbulence Simulations

Speaker and Affiliation:
Nic Brummell ~ University of Colorado
John Clyne ~ National Center for Atmospheric Research

Abstract:
Fueled by decades of exponential advances in microprocessor
technologies, resulting in the availability of increasingly more capable
supercomputers, numerical simulations employed by researchers in the
earth and space sciences have achieved extraordinary scales.
Correspondingly, the outputs of these simulations have reached
unprecedented sizes and single-experiment data sets occupying tens of
terabytes of storage are not uncommon. Unfortunately not all computing
technologies are progressing at the same rate, particularly those
necessary for interactive data analysis. Furthermore, interactive
computing resources possessing capabilities commensurate with batch
simulation platforms are rarely offered. As a consequence the greatest
challenge for many numerical modelers occurs after the simulation has
completed and the exploration process is ready to commence. The
Visualization and Analysis Platform for Ocean, atmosphere, and solar
Research (VAPOR) project is an NSF ITR funded effort that takes aim at
this problem, providing a desktop environment for the investigation of
high resolution numerically simulated turbulence data. VAPOR couples
advanced visualization technology with quantitative analysis tools. This
talk will provide an overview of the VAPOR system and will present
experiences with the application’s use in the exploration of numerically
simulated solar turbulence.
